<div>I believe, subject to facts, that Ubuntu is making some headway in the cloud space. No numbers to back it up though. </div>

<div>My usual response to "What Linux distro should I use?" has been "If you want to work *with* Linux, use Ubuntu. If you want to work *on* Linux, use Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS."</div>

<p>I have process issues with upgrading a server across release versions.

If you are looking to go pro or expand your reach, Centos will be your best bet as RHEL skills continue to be in demand. SuSE is the second highest demanded distro skill from job postings but it runs a distant second. Ubuntu makes a showing in demand from smaller shops</p>
