Favorite Distro for Server Users
This poll/thread is meant to help those users that are having difficulty deciding which distribution(s) they should start with when looking for a good Linux server distribution. Please use it to post information about your favorite server oriented distro, but don't post comments saying that any particular distro is the best, because the best truly is very subjective.

The Debian team are sticklers for security and reliability, which are top priorities for servers.
Stand up and be counted as a Linux user!

Thanks for the link, Roxoff. I totally missed it, but that will give any new users looking at this thread and wondering which distro they should use a few more recommendations.

voted CentOS...
I don't run any servers, but would most likely use CentOS if I did.

I already voted, but didn't have time to say anything before... My choice was Debian just because it's Debian. You really can't go wrong with APT! I also use it on my desktop, except that I use Stable on the NFS server (was actually using Etch before it came out, but it was already really stable at the time) and Testing on my desktop.
