From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use Debian everywhere. Its solid and I can forget about it for years.
Proxmox also is Debian based so it inherits the stability
I still haven't tried Proxmox. I need to look into it
I work with 2 guys (electrician and mechanic) who both swear by it. I'm still on plane Jane Deb + LXC but I am very tempted by Proxmox's ability to migrate containers/vms between machines. Makes it really easy to test services before deploying them.
Migrating between machines would be a very handy feature, as well as for backup.
Do it. Proxmox is fucking awesome
