Linux

I have decided that I am favoring CentOS over Ubuntu. I used Ubuntu for a long while as a desktop, and it was great for that. I use CentOS at work on our servers. When I installed the server addition of Ubuntu I found that in order to be able to SSH to the server to update files I had to jump threw a lot of hoops, like moving the web directory to a home folder and then pointing Apache to the folder to let it write to it. Yes its more secure that way. But what I really want right now is ease of use. Perhaps I will use Ubuntu if I decide to store Credit Cards, when I finally get my game up and running, but beyond that I think its a bit overkill and cumbersome for my personal sites.
