I run mostly Debian based distros these days, though I still have one VPS running CentOS.

I still have this echoarea turned on. It has been ages since anyone has used TUXPOWER but I am sure it could be brought back to life with or without chatty CentOS users. :-)

People? I think you're mistaking the ghosts of Fidonet you've managed to invoke with your seed post for the so-called living.

Speaking of which, BOO!

In ancient times I used Redhat, it was not really a big change.

But keep in mind that Debian is more "mature" ... read they have sometimes have
older version of programs.
So it is definitely not bleeding edge ;)

I use it mostly for headless systems.

For ones where you want to have a GUI you can try the debian based Ubuntu.

I am here, but don't run CentOS. I have boxes running debian variants... debian proper, ubilinux, and raspbian.

I prefer the Debian family now, but was a CentOS user for many years.

There are similarities (it is Linux, afterall!), and there are difference in how each major family does things, especially administration, package management and the like. So a small learning curve, more about some specific things, nothing like learning Linux from scratch though.

I use Mint and Lubuntu for those. Both are Debian based.

Give the newer Budgie a test drive. This arvo I installed a new toy in VirtualBox in lieu of Lubuntu, just for a giggle. The bloody thing just flies at the end of my mouse, and, this is on my stock eight year-old Dell Inspiron.

I like to think of Tuxpower as dormant, not dead {chuckle}. Any/all Unix/Linux variants and the scripting applicable to each is on topic here.
