[Chicago] Thoughts on Virtual Hosting

[Aaron Elmquist]

I am looking to spin up my first cloud sever for python development/hosting
and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on:

   1. Digital Ocean vs Linode
   2. CentOS (Red Hat) vs Ubuntu

With admittedly limited experience, I don't see much difference separating
Digital Ocean and Linode.  I believe Chipy is hosted on Digital Ocean.

For the second option, which OS is used in more professional shops.  I know
Red Hat was the enterprise king for many years, but I get the impression
that Ubuntu Server may be displacing it.  Are old school organizations
still running Red Hat with startups moving to Ubuntu?

Thanks,

Aaron
