Hi, I'm currently working on planning a large Linux cluster installation with the potential to enter the top 100 of the TOP500 list next year. But I am also involved in a discussion what the proposed supported platform for this and a few other clusters shall be in the near future. Right now, we have narrowed things down between CentOS and Ubuntu, but CentOS looks a little bit ahead. Speaking for myself and a few collegues we favour Ubuntu (or Debian) due to our experience with those distribution over the past years and some bad experience with Red Hat or RH derived distributions.
I am still looking for more good points on the Ubuntu part, and would be very delighted if you could help me a bit with some good arguments in favour of Ubuntu. If you need more background, I am sure I can give you more.
