I've been on a VPS with CentOS, but im not sure whether it was the OS or te main server, but whenever we tried to restart the VPS, it would'nt start up.

I read an article a while back on hosting on different OS's, and from what I read it doesn't really matter on what the OS is, as long as the box itself is stable.
Windows or Linux doesn't matter as in the end they all can usually support the same services.

Im not saying that there is anything wrong with CentOS, i've used it on servers before with no problems, its probebly just te host i had it on, or it doesnt like the VPS environment.

This would all depend on what software you will be using for your VPS. CentOS is a known operating system on VPS machines, we have never had problems with it.

All of the choises you listed would be sufficient for a VPS. It really depends on your *nix experience, etc.

CentOS has been really solid for our systems and ve's as well. I think the next best, just in my opinion, would be debian.

stayalive: He was implying the sort of load he had on his operating system

I'm all for CentOS4 or RHEL4. Both are basically the same thing, but CentOS is just a cool name.
