I'm building a new box to replace my ancient Observium server. I'm most comfortable with CentOS, but most of the help docs I've seen appear to be geared toward Ubuntu. Is there a great reason to go Ubuntu over CentOS? Or is there another distro that is better for Observium? I stayed away from Ubuntu because I didn't care for the GUI, but I realized I have probably spent less than a hour per year in the GUI of that machine.
Just use the Ubuntu server-version which does not contain a GUI and you will be fine. Ubuntu is the best distro for Observium as the automated install-script works flawlessly for Ubuntu. Just install Ubuntu Server, download observium install-script and you are done :) /Markus

If you're an archeologist use centos, otherwise use Ubuntu.
Though Ubuntu has started to acquire all of the voodoo black box "management improvements" these days :/
