I personally prefer Ubuntu and haven't had any issues with it so far,
though I know some people dislike the constant update cycle that it goes
through.
Other than that, CentOS or other RedHat variants for clusters, though I
think there's at least one cluster here which is running Ubuntu. I also
believe CentOS goes through a yearly update cycle, which might be something
to also consider.
Best,
Kenneth

Ask yourselves, all of you, what power would hell have if those imprisoned
here could not dream of heaven?
