[ale] Slicehost options

[Warren Myers]

Obviously, this could degenerate into a holy war.

I run CentOS 4.4 on my VPS (from tektonic.net) and it's a cinch. I
personally prefer rpm-based distros to those employing deb packages. From my
experience with suse, centos, and ubuntu, I think redhat (centos) is the
better bet for servers. It's rock solid - and the easiest one to update in
my experience if you want to move up versions.

That being said, I have run kubuntu and ubuntu in both desktop and server
configs. For desktops, I think it's great, but wasn't impressed at all with
it's server performance.
