Distro to run Drupal on

[Keith Smith]

I like CentOS because it is very stable.  I do not like CentOS (RHEL) 
because it is slow to incorporate newer software (Apache, PHP, and 
MariaDB / MySql).

I like Debian.  It was my first real distro.  I run Mint on my 
workstation.

I do not want bleeding edge - I like to sleep at night.
