Well, I fled servers from CentOS to FreeBSD almost a decade ago. And actually not From CentOS per se, but from Linux. One of the reasons was: every 45 days on average: glibc or kernel update —> reboot. One of my friends started using word “Lindoze”. Linux is perfect for number crunchers and workstations. FreeBSD is waaay better for servers. In my book that is.
