Chris >From other mailing lists people have been having strange problems with the latest release of SentOs - nothing consistant but may be worth looking at before taking the plunge.
Have you thought about how the servers will be administered/backed up? Are those programs in the Ubuntu repos? If you're looking for reliability and stability, what about going back to source distros for both your choices ie Debion or REl?

I need to choose a server operating system to run LAMP intranet web services with little maintenance and at high reliability. This system will be installed in multiple locations, so the last thing I want to be doing is a shed load of ongoing administration, or dealing with unnecessary problems. I've pretty much narrowed the selection down to CentOS 5 and Ubuntu Hardy LTS. If anyone has any suggestions, pros or cons for either systems I'd love to hear them.
