Most Stable Linux OS for Cpanel
I've heard Redhat & I've also heard Cent OS
Who can tell me WITH EXPERIENCE not just Word of Mouth which is better for usage with cpanel?

Honestly, based on running a data center with nearly 2000 servers (mostly linux + cpanel)---almost no difference between the two.
I'd go with CentOS for the added security, but functionality-wise....not much difference.

Yes I keep hearing that from the forums but when speaking with my provider he says that Redhat is 3 times more stable.

Red Hat does not even exist as a current operating system, and was replaced with Fedora awhile back.
Fedora and CentOS are basically just versions of Red Hat, one a test-bed (Fedora), and the other a clone of the Red Hat Enterprise (CentOS).
Either way you choose, you won't have problems, as CPanel is stable on both of them.

The one that is setup and properly administrated, will be the most stable.
I'd just go with CentOS 4.0 though. It's proven to be stable, efficient and secure when setup right.

Another vote for CentOS here. We use it on all servers and have not had any problems with it at all.

we've ran into a lot of problems with running cpanel and centos 4.3 64bit, i guess you should stay away from 64 bit centos until cpanel has everything squared away
