Just curious to see what the most popular linux os the ycombinator community is using to launch their sites.

Usually debian, security patches are regular. Cons: packages can be a bit old.

FreeBSD. (Ok, not a linux distribution, but it's an alternative to using a linux distribution.)

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS 64-bit. It is beyond me why so many people use non-LTS release of Ubuntu <i>on their production servers</i>.

CentOS 4.4. (I'd upgrade to 5, but it's a huge pain on SliceHost at the moment.)

Solaris whenever I can, CentOS5 otherwise. Solaris has excellent threading and some apps I run for customers therefore run better on Solaris.

RHEL4, though the site's a few years old. Would do RHEL5 if it was today.<p>Personally, I run Debian. But RedHat really does a good of not breaking stuff at the cost of less frequent updates.

Gentoo all the way.

I need reliability, with a bias on using source code to produce my running binaries.<p>Of course, I run NetBSD.
