I'd rather have Solaris on a server but of the options here it has to be Centos

I'm using Ubuntu Server 8.10, so I voted for Ubuntu LTS (no 8.10 available in the poll).

Most of our servers run Debian stable, currently Etch. It is solid, but there are some very old packages! Dansguardian on Etch is a release from 2005! That's 4 years! Too old. I've started upgrading some servers to Lenny.

This year, I'm going to check out some distro's for our servers. I want new packages, probably compiled. So far, I'm thinking slackware/gentoo vs freebsd/openbsd. I love openbsd, but would prefer to stick with native linux, and not the compatibility modes of BSD.

I prefer Fedora over RHEL, even though it may be a bit unstable.

We have a few RHEL servers at work and I've become quite partial to them.

Thumbs up Slackware.
Greetings to all,

Slackware is the Linux distribution I would use for a server.

A second option would be Centos.
