What is your recommendation?

  FWIW, we're using the Amazon Linux AMI (from Amazon themselves) and are quite happy with it. It is a pretty minimalist AMI, which is what we wanted. One caveat: it is in beta.

    This is a hybrid between CentOS and Fedora.

  CentOS if you can't use RHEL.
  • mihasya 15y ago
    Do you have some benchmarks handy that indicate that CentOS or RHEL are more performant than Ubuntu?
    • maratd 15y ago
      Any performance differences should be negligible. Use what you're used to. I personally use Amazon/CentOS/RHEL because I know where everything is and how everything goes.

    Because Python 2.4 is still AWESOME!
    • RyanKearney 15y ago
      Oh man, good thing you can install python yourself on RHEL. But I wouldn't expect someone using Ubuntu to know how to download and compile the source code themselves.

        Because they don't have to. (And I say that as a longtime RH fanboi)
