    Centos 5 is my choice. It is stable when it comes to server setup.

    I agree, CentOS for sure. Very stable, and most common when it comes to servers.

    Depending on your application needs.

    If you want compatibility with your softwares, go for 32bit otherwise 64bit for a good performance.

    I'd always recommend 64bit. Most applications will work within it now.

    Simplest to manage of all of these is Debian/Ubuntu.

    I'd definitely go 64-bit with whichever you choose.

    Correct. You will likely never know the difference with the functionality. Although, there is better performance on 64-Bit than 32-Bit with most apps.

    For someone who's not experienced in sysadmin i'd suggest Ubuntu. Perhaps Debian for more advanced users.

    CentOS is very stable but the official repository doesn't offer a lot of packages in compare with Debian/Ubuntu. On the other hand there are plethora of Ubuntu tutorials out there thanks to its newbie friendliness.

    I would recommend CentOS 5 64bit it is the choice of mot of the hosting providers because of the stability. There are plenty of tutorials for it also. Just look at howtoforge.

    And yes, go with 64-bit. Most applications support it nowadays.

    CentOS...faster?

    May be you should actually do some benchmark testing before making such blanket statement

    As for yum... Two of the alternatives are running apt which is far more mature than yum and it's significantly faster.

    SUSE is bloated...I do have to say that.

    yes, for me all Redhat distribution better then debian like ubuntu ..etc

    for personal usage apt better then yum, but for advanced yum better

    (that's just my opinion )

    also i use suse as pc it's very good, but i didn't use it as Server!

    For me I always use CentOS. Is stable, and never given me any reason to change.

    CentOS is the most widely used and most stable to date next to RedHat

    CentOS is and RH derivs are much more documented, and have more beginner tutorials, so I would say it's probably best for learning.
    Ubuntu also has quite a bit of documentation, but I personally don't prefer it for server environments.
    But, at the end of the day, it really depends on what you plan on doing with it as to which is actually the best in the long run.
    Easier or not, flavor you need to run is obviously the one that makes the most sense to learn.
    This is the best signature in the world....Tribute!
    (It is not the best signature in the world, no. This is just a tribute)

    CentOS it's free really stable and really good support for hardware.

    Ubuntu isn't really for server environments in my option.

    I would recommend CentOS. You can decide on the bits depending on your Softwares that you will use.
