CentOS: stable, reliable, and secure Linux distribution
- Excellent "L" in the LAMP server.
- CentOS is a total workhorse and very stable distribution.
- Security and other updates are a breeze with YUM.
- The community support and documentation is as good as it gets.
Cons
- Sometimes we have to add some esoteric repositories to YUM, and that is a bit of a pain.
- Sometimes we fight with SE Linux if it is enabled.
- I wish I could get a CentOS t-shirt.
- CentOS is all positive on return!
- The more CentOS machines we have around here the better.
- CentOS is a tight Linux distro, it is conservative and solid where it needs to be.
- Security options are excellent. You can really make it tight.
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Ubuntu Linux
