I prefer Debian for any server if I have an opportunity to select. You can also use Ubuntu (which is based on Debian) for desktop & development. But of course Adobe world is different scenario and of course having less issue on CentOS would be a good way to go for CF (If you are not capable of handle issues on your *nix box) Oh, by the way, "apt" rulez! :) I am an old (very old :)) Slackware user who evolved with Debian world.

I'm not sure what flavor of Linux trajikyhip is on now - as it is still hosted in a shared environ with HostMySite (don't use their shared hosting) - but I believe it's Red Hat. I have two virtual private servers now, one that powers aaronandlindy.com on CentOS and that will power trajiklyhip.com on CentOS. Both are on different VPS providers. I'm not a huge Linux guy (really, I'm not kidding) but CentOS seems fine to me. Before RedHat was RedHat Enterprise it powered trajiklyhip.com for 5 years.

Like many of us that picked up Linux in the 90's Red Hat was the synonymous with Linux. I might also throw ISPconfig into the mix as well. http://www.ispconfig.org/ Hate to sound like there is an echo in here but Centos is my favorite distro.

It's essentially RHEL only compiled by the community. I have been running it for quite some time now (years) and even in the betas that I participated in, when there was an issue that I found in CentOS, it was also an issue in RHEL. So, Adobe doesn't "officially" support it, but they do look into it to see if it's an issue on RHEL. Voting for CentOS as well. It’s essentially RHEL only compiled by the community.

However, CentOS 5 performs identically well. As Jim stated, you lose a bit of support since Adobe doesn't officially support CentOS.
