Would CentOS be a good and well supported headless 64 bit OS for the Raspberry Pi4? I use Centos7 for everything else and am planning of transitioning from existing servers to blade servers based on the Pi4 for supporting microservice-based applications (Spring, Netflix, Google as well as software development (Nexus, gitlab&SVN, Postfix, DHCP, Firewalld, etc.). I am old enough to believe that 4Gb RAM on a current-generation CPU can run a whole company and if you have 20 such units working together, you have a lot of power. It is awfully nice to think that if one fails, you just slap in another Pi4 for practically nothing rather than replacing a powerful server for 25 times the price. I am looking at the $55 Pis as alternatives to virtual machines but might still want to play with Cloudstack to break up the Pis into smaller virtual machines if $55 becomes a lot to pay for a real one! I would love to take advantage of the active release of security updates that we enjoy in CentOS but if there is insufficient support for 64 bit ARM, that is a show stopper. Would Raspbien be a better choice? It is obviously well supported on the Pi but comes with a lot of stuff that is of no use to me in a microservices/corporate server environment and means a lot of conversion of my thinking and existing processes.
