CentOS is a terrific distro. I run it on several production servers.

I have always used CentOS. Last server was 32-bit, but when I moved to the two server configuration, I went with 64-bit on the advice over at vb.com

Thanks for the comments

I was thinking of going with CentOs anyway due to the good reviews but wasnt sure on the 32/64 bit.

Also what do you think of the specs for the price

maybe you want to have another harddrive or RAID? Also, Red Hat is for free.
