    Since we're talking Linux distros, I voted: RHEL / CentOS.

    CentOS/RHEL for me. It has many tools that make system administration a breeze and selinux provides more security.

    Is Debian considered more secured distro than Fedora?

    We run RHEL on all our servers (except for one that runs MS Windows Server 2003) and it has never cause us a problem....The support they provide is excellent plus the inbuilt tools to do administration are quite easy and reliable.

    Quite stable (thanks to Fedora) provides an uptime of over 100 days...

    Security is always in your hand....we run one server (that provides MSDN library and MS software services to the university) on Windows Server 2003 and have found no security issues on it till date....

    I use Debian the most but it has more votes so I'll go with my 2nd choice. CentOS is great for servers, we use it for DHCP(~60,000 IP leases it has to manage) and Gentoo and NetBSD for Nagios + MRTG.

    On servers I like Gentoo, Debian or Slackware, but I voted on Slack.
