i always use centos as production and development server

CentOs is still the best for me!

Ubuntu Server has been awesome for painless deployments. Plus it's stripped of all those tainted Unity feces.

Slackware of course. :)

Companies and their sys-admins love to put blame on the vendor support in case of goof-up, thus RHEL will unarguably be the one which is most widely used in server deployments because of the paid support.
Otherwise, Slackware won't make a less than professional server choice. Install, setup, run and forget. Update when you want without breaking the core. Isn't that what all sys-admins want.

OpenBSD. Come on! It is probably considered the top secure OS in terms of the code being audited, as well as still its security measures, to a large extent.

Aren't we talking about 'Linux' based OSs here? Sure *BSDs are good when it comes to server usage, no doubt.

There have been BSD sub-forums at this site for some time now.

I was talking in context of the poll options we have here. Linux "distributions".

Peace..:)
