Yes, there are not too many surprises with CentOS. However, debian has also had a very good reputation for stability - and Ubuntu builds on that while also providing timely releases.
Please do not subscribe to the notion that ubuntu builds on Debian stability.
Debian stability comes from never changing anything, so obviously not...
Heh.
Ubuntu has had releases with certain key tools broken such as the GNOME Network configuration tool.
Has that been the case in the LTS release?
I believe Hardy had some problems. I never bothered with the GUI tools with my Hardy installations so I do not know about Networkmanager but I did see a lot of sound complaints with Hardy whereas the previous release 7.xx had no problems.
Another issue with GNOME i never bothered to check since I needed a KDE desktop with group policies thanks to kiosktool.
