Thats my thought as well. Ubuntu desktop and CentOS for servers. Just wandering if anyone is using the 'Ubuntu Server Edition's'? They seem appealing but CentOS is what I am used too on servers now. Thought about loading it up on a box to just try though.
Not using, but I've tried it in a LAMP-configuration couple of years ago. Stability seems ok, but personally I don't like the sudo this and sudo that and sudo everywhere. Besides, it felt somehow clunky. CentOS seemed slim, slick and fast compared at the time, so CentOS is what I got stuck with (in an endearing sense of course).
HTH.
Hi Sorin
You can "sudo bash" and you will have a root terminal. In it, you can set the root password for root.
How does freeBSD compare to CentOS for stabillity etc? Seems as though CentOS has the largest market capture but I have yet to try freeBSD. Heard that freeBSD is more unix like then linux.
