Customers often ask me which linux OS they should use...

When money is no object, RHEL is my obvious choice, but when cost is a factor thats when CentOS comes in

What is CentOS

The Official Description is as follows:

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor. CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.) CentOS is free.

Basically what CentOS is, is Red Hat Enterprise Linux, compiled from source with all the Red Hat Branding Removed.

I cannot fault its stability, its never done me any harm therefore would strongly recommend it to anyone.

It has proved to be particularly good in a cPanel shared hosting environment.
