How many INSTALLS of CentOS do you still choose to have?
I think you know the answer for CentOS 6. I haven't deployed any new services on CentOS since the 5.4 release, and am generally losing to the guy who favors SUSE here - and even the horde that favors Windows which has always been our largest deployment.
Gross, Winblowz!
We use it as a workstation VM in a pretty large scale but since its a VM, doesn't seem so bad as our host and primary OS is Centos.
My gut feeling is the same, but it goes back to Win2k and earlier days. I can't think of anything that has been a problem with 64-bit win 2003/2008 as production servers and I sort of like the way you can decide after-the-fact that you want to convert a disk to software raid.
We've had some traction on Suse but since there is no comparable project like Centos in the Suse realm, its Centos all the way baby!
The SUSE-favoring guy has some tests that he says shows that their real-time kernel is essential for what his programs do - which is probably true for one particular instance.
