New server: Red Hat, CentOS or FreeBSD?

[ntmr]

I'm about to buy a new dedicated server and need to chose among these operating systems.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CentOS Enterprise Linux
FreeBSD

Which of these is the best to host an otserv (especially TFS)?

What are the positives and negatives of each?

Please, don't suggest other distributions/OS.

Thanks ^_^

RHEL and CentOS are pretty much same the thing, I would personally go with FreeBSD.

I was looking on some linux forums and FreeBSD seems to be more difficult to be configured and managed, also didn't find many "how-to" about it

Why just those 3 and not Debian?

I agree with Talaturen.

The DC offers only those 3 (don't ask me why) :huh:

I agree with Talaturen.

Have you ever hosted an otserv on a FreeBSD machine? It's easy to compile/configure/run?

Nice. Create a shell script and include it with the TFS sources then (if it work )
