There must be people on this list who use another OS and other Control
Panel Software such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc.

I would like to know if other operating systems are more stable or
require more or less intervention than CentOS/BlueQuartz?

I just rebooted 3 servers and 1 came online, the other 2 are offline
now. I hope I'm wrong but this really makes me wonder if there isn't
anything 'better' out there? There have been a number of small
incidents on our servers lately and it just gets frustrating.

So my question is very simple: can anyone compare CentOS/Bluequartz
with other configurations and tell me if there is a substantial
difference?

I've used DirectAdmin on BQ and LxAdmin on Cent5.1.  Both of them have
advantages and disadvantages.  The trick that I have found with BQ is
simple. Edit your firewall, keep virus software updated and you should have
a solid system that will run for months without a reboot.
