A summary of all of the bad Linux advice in the CentOS thread earlier this month

[Fairlight]

Debian...the dist -last- to get security updates, usually.  Or were, when
they were last actually relevant.  Certainly not a distro I'd consider
enterprise-viable.  That has to be a worse recommendation than Ubuntu--and
you have no idea how much I hate Ubuntu.

If backups are not removable, they're not -true- backups, they're hot-swaps.

And the OSS/BSD rant is a "religious" issue...  I've given up on those.
The politics behind a distro are something I can easily do without.  The
question is whether it's a valid technical and financial option, not what
politics and ideologies are involved.  I'm getting too old for that crap,
seriously.  You sounded an awful lot like an ESR disciple, and I lost my
patience for him over half a decade ago.
