ClearOS

It is a Linux Enterprise distribution for server as well as desktop environments which is formerly named as ClarkConnect. It is based on CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux and is an open source just like CentOS. It is basically designed for small and medium businesses as a network gateway and server with a web based administration interface. Its current stable version available is 5.2. Its 5.x series offers two versions- Enterprise and professional. The enterprise version is free of cost whereas the professional version is the paid one.


Ubuntu Server

The best part of ubuntu server is that it can be easily downloaded and installed thereafter. It is not associated with unwanted formalities and hoops to jump through. It has various versions- desktop, server, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu and Lubuntu which are all compatible. If long term support is your basic criteria then ubuntu is the best choice for you.



Red Hat Enterprise Linux(RHEL)

It is the best among all; it provides great dependability and first class support and services. It is a licensed version and its releases come with the longest support cycle i.e. 10 years. It is considered as the backbone of Linux and its clones are also available in the market like Scientific Linux and CentOS which are open source versions of it.



SUSE Enterprise Linux

SUSE like RHEL is the other first rate OS and is trusted in the market. It also offers great documentation and excellent management tools. It offers a point-of-service edition for retailers, an extra benefit that RHEL does not offer. The best part of it is that it is available even for small enterprises and does not cause affordability issues heavily.



Debian and CentOS

Both these OS are lean and efficient and are customizable enough to suit your needs. Debian is not built in order to gain commercial benefits but is completely for the community. CentOS is the open source version of Red Hat and provides almost all the benefits that are provided by Red Hat, the only difference is that it lays back by 2-3 months as compared to Red Hat.
