Which os is better for a webserver, ubuntu or debian or something else? [closed]

Question

I want to set up a webserver and i was wondering which os i should choose. People tell me i should choose between centOS, ubuntu or debian.

Basically the server os has to be able to do the following: - Run a php/mysql website that will be visited by approxamally 1000 visitors a day. - Support a server with raid configuration.

Which OS is the best option, and what packages would you advice to install?

Answer 1

I would say it is personell preference, I have also used ubuntu so I stick with that as I like the package managers and how quick things get updated for it.

Answer 2

I prefer Debian.

Ubuntu is based on Debian, so it is good too, but I like Debian. Also CentOS is good server-side OS too.

There are no correct answer to your question, the choice of OS is limited by personal preferences.
