Overall Satisfaction with CentOS

CentOS is the standard flavor of Linux that we've used for our VMs, throughout the company. Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you know you are getting a solid Linux distro.
  • Base image for virtual machines
  • Great OS for running Docker
  • Based of solid RedHat enterprise linux, so compatible with pretty much everything
  • I haven't had a reason to try anything else really
I like CentOS over other flavors of Linux - mainly because it's widely used, supported, and it's based of RedHat Enterprise Linux. Comparing it to Windows as a server? No comparison - CentOS all the way - unless you want to reboot your windows servers every few days.
Great community around CentOS, tons of resources online. This is partly why I like it so much
