- CentOS or Debian?
I heard that CentOS is losing developers, which is not good news for a community-supported OS. If that is true, then CentOS would be that much lower in the list of preferred FOSS server operating systems. Can someone please confirm or deny the rumour?
The recent mangling of patches by RH may have something to do with it (if true). But goes to show that given a need to grow profits, (and all the corollaries that go with it), it is best to avoid a "corporate distro" if you are not paying them for the support.
IMO debian is the only suitable distro due to the politics of business and technology.
