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.

And break a couple of things IIRC. There are whole arguments about doing that.

Yupp, as I said, at the time I was testing Ubuntu, I was rather green and didn't know about those little tricks. Now is a another matter, but I still prefer CentOS. Besides, opening a terminal and typing in "su -" is way faster. Saves keystrokes. And I can't believe I just write that...! I sound like a linux die-hard...

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.
