I am about to set up a cloud instance with linux operating system, and the common choice here normally would be ubuntu. But since they failed their newest release, and I have the option of going fedora or debian. What would you guys recommend for server?

    Best fit is always dependent on how you’re planning to use it. Find out what your requirements before you set up a server.

    Generally Debian is chosen very often, but I’d wager pretty much any distro will do. Your own experience goes a long way in making a distro a good choice.

      Which one has the biggest repositpry libruary off the bat? It’s a GUI-less server. So no browser downloading of .deb files anyways.
