I have a VPS with bodhost and I just want to know that if I can install Ubuntu on it.
Is that possible?

We would not be able to provide Ubuntu as an OS option on our VPS. However we do provide , FedoraCore, FreeBSD or CentOS.

CentOS is better than all other flavor of Linux.

With CentOS you will get long time support for your applications, and for all the packages, this is good if you need a lot of time to configure and fine tune your system.

I had just purchased a VPS with pre installed CentOS (5.0) on my server and agree that it was pretty easy to set it up and get going.

As compared to other linux distro CentOS is a lot more stable.

Yes I agree with Christina,
some of the major advantages of CentOS are it has enterprise-grade stability and security as well as a much longer support cycle provided by the CentOS community.

From last 2 years I am using Centos and yet I haven't faced any problem.It is the most stable distro of Linux.

As a server, CentOS is a good replacement for RHEL. It is compatible with almost all RHEL softwares.

Thanks for the suggestions, it sounds all well and good, but i am addicted to the Ubuntu. So do you think that it can make a fairly good replica of it??

You can replace Ubuntu with CentOS.

Christina · #12 (**permalink**) 07-15-08, 07:38

You can replace Ubuntu with Fedora as both have similar interface .

aliya · #13 (**permalink**) 07-16-08, 07:43

But I think Ubuntu is more polished than Fedora.

carl · #14 (**permalink**) 07-17-08, 08:23

Ubuntu and other debian derivatives are not the best choice for stability.You must replace with Centos.

Rodricks · #15 (**permalink**) 07-18-08, 07:16

Yes I agree with Carl,Centos is the best option.

sharron · #16 (**permalink**) 07-19-08, 08:49

CentOS offers a much greater value than Fedora.
