Default How many RHEL/CentOS operators out there?

So I've been all over the map over the years on Linux distros. I like all of them in their own way, and have used many over the years. Professionally, it's almost always been RHEL/CentOS/OEL, and it's the one I run my server and development stuff on, not to mention countless things I've tinkered with over the years.

Are there any like-minded individuals out there? I've been working on a not too complex script to take a CentOS 7 minimal install and turn it into a running EMU server. I'd like to think there's at least some use for it publicly, but it got me wondering what the numbers really look like.

So, do you run a Linux server? Which flavor did you pick?

I'm using Debian 7.8 It's been pretty good to me. Way back when, my first linux box was
Mandrake (back in the late 90's). I did use FreeBSD for awhile but too many headaches. (chuckle)
But been using Debian since (I think) 5.X 'ish. I've found it the most solid so far, but I
can't say I have tried everything.

For messing around, Debian has always been a favorite. Not really a Ubuntu fan though. Been bouncing along with Red Hat and derivatives since I first started using Linux. Something about them has always just made sense to me.

Redhat was actually something I poked into just before Debian. I don't remember why,
but something was screwing up on the install, so I said to hell with it, and set it up
with Debian instead. I kind of liked the looks of redhat, but didn't far enough to check it
all out.

I would be interested in a Cent OS script / detailed current how to. I run various linux distro's, and Cent is one that is nearly always interesting.

Linux distributions are all in a matter of flavor, they function slightly differently and have different features.

The main challenge is the difference in packages needed for each. After that it's all gravy.

Well, if anybody wants to give it a look see... https://github.com/N0ctrnl/EQEmu-CentOS7-Installer

It's pretty basic, but it'll turn a minimal install into a running server. Feedback is welcome

Book marked that for later. Busy at the moment, hopefully in a couple weeks things loosen up and I can give this a go.
