NEWS FLASH So uhm... there's this....

No worries, I can play around on Fedora. I am curious though, do you guys have a underlying OS that you favor over the others? With Ubuntu, Fedora 20 and CentOS 7 out now, there are quite a few new choices and I am eager to jump on one of them, but I don't want it to be one that you guys will lose interest in.

that are all pains in the butt. co has potential. don't care for Ubuntu or derivatives a few of the other guys love Ubuntu. personally I only develop, at the moment, for RH derivatives.

FWIW: We're operating system agnostic, and CentOS 7 is by far the least compatible and most difficult Linux build we've come across. And that includes Fedora 20 and Ubuntu 14. Since CentOS and RHEL 7 both are based upon Fedora 20, you've got to wonder what's going on.
