    CentOS is a completely open-source version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

      I agree, CentOS is by far the best OS. It's extremely stable, and is free. Who wouldn't love that?!

    Debian has a very slow release cycle and is focused on stability and security.

    Ubuntu has a very quick release cycle, and is rather newbie friendly.

      But Ubuntu is crap in it's own. It's hard to get everything to be compatible with each other... I mean.. somebody patches something breaks another, it's just not fun constantly updating your drivers and such, even though Ubuntu does handle a lot of it on it's own.
