Debian :^)

Debian stable/testing

Debian or

babbys first

debian testing for an easy setup
gentoo for a hobbyist
openbsd using a zfs raid and ecc ram for a good job

This and Debian are what I use for all my projects, in and out of work.

Windows Server 2016 Essentials

>openbsd
>zfs
You have no idea what you're talking about. OpenBSD does not support ZFS.

I work for a fortune 500 and all our server run on top of Ubuntu Server.

Don't listen to the other retards.
Arch is the way to go.

thanks for the answers guys, i'm narrowing it down to ubuntu server, debian and gentoo. i've heard people saying gentoo is a meme, and that ubuntu is a botnet, so would debian be the best way to go?

The Ubuntu botnet meme only extends to the default GUI installation and not the Server edition.
Gentoo is indeed a meme.

There is no reason to use anything other than OpenBSD

Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS

proxmox

I personally always go with debian as it get's the job done.

You're being mislead by Sup Forums memes. I'm an actual professional in this field, and your only sane choices are centos 7 or debian stable.

i guess i'll go with debian then. thanks for all the help guys

NixOS, Slackware, OpenSUSE Leap

Typical windows used, illiterate as always.

>RHEL
>home server

also centos is running SELinux by default. wtf are you even talking about, that's not a distro.

use debian
or ubuntu if you want better updated packages and samba/apache bloat out of the box
scientific is best rhel-like (centos second)

but really you should use alpine

install a rope

Yes, if you need softraid for disk mirroring and also encryption. You can't layer softraid modes in OpenBSD.

"Install Gentoo" is a meme, but Gentoo itself isn't one. If you'd like an utterly minimal install for your server or otherwise customize it for your exact needs, Gentoo is a great choice. If you don't need that much customization or if it seems like too much extra work, Debian would be a very good choice.

sure you do

Gentoo stops being viable once you start valuing your electricity bill.

I actually don't doubt that some large companies are running ubuntu servers. But they're going to have a harder and harder time going forward. Everyone finally realized that canonical was shit around mid 2017.

OP, just get SCO OpenServer 6.

>Everyone finally realized that canonical was shit around mid 2017
elaborate?

This might have been true 15 years ago, but with a modern processor there are only a few packages that take a significant amount of time to compile, and they're mostly desktop packages like Chromium and LibreOffice that you wouldn't need on a server. You also don't have to update everything all the time, especially on a server. You can do security fixes only

Almost anything should work. I'd probably go with Fedora or Gentoo.

The power bill thing was probably never really important. It was always about the chance of interrupting something on the server and degrading service.

But we're now in the age where half a modern CPU can quite easily handle Gentoo updates, and your system resources are well beyond adequately controllable with cgroups anyhow if niceness levels somehow aren't enough.

Anyhow, Gentoo is an alright choice, actually.

Don't fall for the centos meme. Ubuntu server or debian all the way.

I use Debian because I can upgrade it to another release and it is less bloated than Ubuntu.
Maybe Ubuntu server is a good choice, but Debian does everything I need.

>rolling release or RHEL-testing
come on man

Debian or HardenedBSD (the mirrors are slow as shit though)

A kubernetes cluster with you app hosted on an Alpine Linux base.

Suse Enterprise Linux

Legit anything my dude post in /sqt/ next time.

alpine sucks
