Best-Performing Linux Distro for a 1.6.4 Server ?

[MigukNamja]

The vast majority of server performance comes down to factors like:

• mod-pack
• players' builds on the server
• server hardware
• Internet bandwidth
• other processes running on the server

But, I'm just checking before I build a new server if there are any performance differences between the various Linux distros, such as:

• Ubuntu (uses Debian as a core)
• Debian (without Ubuntu)
• SUSE
• etc.

What's your opinion ?

The distro really shouldn't matter much, especially for performance. Use the one your most familiar/comfortable with. For me that mainly comes down to being more familiar with apt than yum, so I go with Debian on servers and Ubuntu for desktops.

I hear many servers use CentOS.

CentOS and Debian are pretty good, though the Debian aptitude installer isn't as "easy" IMHO.
