Let us know how your Docker work turns out. It's not a big deal, but it's a nuisance and I hate quirky/unpredictable behavior. In the installer, I've run into several situations where I have to add special cases to the package installation to force it to do the right thing (whereas on CentOS just giving a list of dependencies is enough to make the right things happen). The RH packaging policy just leads to more predictable results in my experience. Mostly because I like yum/rpm better than apt-get/dpkg, but I also prefer the choices they've made in a number of areas. I still pick CentOS for all of my production servers (and we've got quite a few these days). I've spent a lot of time with Debian 9 lately, and it's really nice, too. This has some minor negatives, in particular EPEL sometimes has repo compatibility problems, where packages can conflict or cause repo errors when updating. In the new installer, we're enabling both SCL (just for PHP7) and EPEL (the whole repo), by default. The Red Hat and Fedora folks are doing good work in the container space (Project Atomic is neat), so I wouldn't be too worried about lack of support in the long term, though it might be a little quirky right now. And, CentOS has SCL which papers over its most glaring fault (old packages), and EPEL which papers over another major complaint (not enough packages). Most of the stupid things Ubuntu devs did in the past they've stopped doing (or they've gotten enough attention and fixes plastered over them that they don't look so stupid anymore). its just my personal opinion that centos and/or debian are better, very much more secure and stable oses, not only for servers but for every day life. ubuntu fans - I am not saying that ubuntu is bad, its just not my cup of tea. Perhaps Andreycheck would be best person around to answer your question as I know he runs his servers on ubuntu for years and regards centos possibly welshman. as I use debian on my servers since very late version 5 and early 6, i never look for anything else. Since 14.06.3 I switch to debian even my desktops and cannot complain at all. Ive been trying to run my servers on ubuntu but uhm I dont know, never had smooth life with it, and Ive been using ubuntu as primary os as version 6 and then i gave it shoot again during 12.06 and 14.06, but it was too unstable for me and had some issues with it, but that was laptop/desktop version. Ububtu is based on debian but its not same thing. I would recommend you trying debian jessie (8) for virtualmin, and then you just do distro upgrade. Hi brook, I think centos is one of the top distros for servers, without doubt.
