Which Would You Prefer

I am an MCSA since 2003, however I wanted to get some feed back from others using Linux.



Which is best  - CentOS vs OpenSUSE vs Ubuntu  

Here are my views on each :


CentOS :

A well repackaged RHEL.  The stability and security of RHEL without the support. There are no bells and whistles for this operating system like Fedora which makes this operating system quite stable and support is now extended even further RHEL, which means the same for CentOS.

It installs extremely quickly and can be installed from either CD/DVD,live CD/DVD or USB.


Open SUSE:

Another rpm operating system.  Very nice but reminds me of Windows, without the BSOD.  I find the system to be good but a little resource heavy but still none the less very good since the default is KDE. 



Ubuntu :

This is a great operating system, based off Debian.  Although extremely popular, I find Linux Mint to be of a better choice.  I also at times find Ubuntu freezes. However, this distro has a very large community for support.
