Re: Linux

I would say that if you pick any of the big four you will be fine.
CentOS
Ubuntu Server LTS
Red Hat
Suse
Debian can also be a good choice.
We used to be an OpenSuse shop but we are now moving everything to
Ubuntu Server LTS. I can not say enough good things about CentOS as far
as stability and long support times.
