I have been taking care of a forum where they have been running on Ubuntu for over a year now. Even with that, I can't shake the feeling that something is not quite right, and would prefer stock Debian as my first choice. Many people criticize Debian for being too slow to update, but for production servers, it seems to be the right speed. Ubuntu might well work for you. I just prefer Debian. RHEL/CentOS are fine, but their Python is horribly older than it should be. What amuses me the most is that Debian is actually ahead of them (Python 2.5 comes with stock Debian, whereas RHEL/CentOS use Python 2.4 still). Considering the speed benefits of upgrading to at least Python 2.5, you will want to build your own Python, and make sure to use it whenever working with it if you go with this platform. Personally, you can't keep me far enough away from Gentoo. Managing to have a repeatable installation of Gentoo is nothing short of a nightmare. And if something goes wrong, or you do need to duplicate your production environment in your QA or dev environments, well, good luck to you. You're going to need it. -- Michael J.
