Best Linux for Plesk 8 ?

[Garp]

We run Plesk 7.5.x on CentOS 3.7 and Plesk 8.0.0 and Plesk 8.0.1 (yes, i tried upgrading to .0.1 on 1 server. Scary ) on CentOS 4.3. We also user CentOS for mail relay, dns environment etc. Tried Debian, didn't like it.

CentOS is stable and proven (RHEL). Training and Certification on RHEL is available; that's also very important to us...

I am using it on FreeBSD 6.0 and I never faced problems yet. No bugs with Plesk upgrade and no downtime for nothing...

What about 64 bit SO's. Does it make any difference with plesk? Would RHEL-64 be better than CentOs 4.3 (32 bit)?

Has anyone ran Plesk 8 in a VM enviroment like VMWare Server or MS Virtual Server? Is there a significant loss in performance in a VM?

I've also got PSA on OSX.. its kind of like a pinecone, kind of cool, but I don't really know what to do with it.

I would say run the distro you're comfortable with. We've been running debian on most our servers but that wasn't supported when we started to try Plesk. So we installed RHEL3 and got plesk up and running. Haven't been a smooth journey in any way, but I think most of it's because of our lack of RHEL-skill. Looking forward to switch OS back to debian or ubuntu on our plesk server...
