Hi :) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is officially supported for another 4 years, which is a massive advantage over other distros. I hadn't thought about that factor at all.
I think quite a lot of people upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu every 2 years = so jumping from 1 of their LTS releases to the next without doing any of the ones in the middle. So Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and then waiting until the end of April (4th month) next year (2016) to get the 16.04 LTS. However, i still find it very odd that Evo people have been recommending Ubuntu. So far each different person's has recommended 2 or 3 distros with Ubuntu being in each different list. Usually people on this mailing list seem to be quite scathing or even hostile to Ubuntu so i was hoping to see more suggestions for other distros to see what people do like. CentOS is same family as Fedora isn't it? So that might be advantageous for command-line stuff? Scientific Linux is in the same family (Redhat family) as CentOS that no-one has mentioned but i thought had a good reputation. openSuSE do some really great stuff so it was good to see someone recommend them. There was at least 1 other good suggestion that i have lost track of.
