Hello all,

We have about 7 FreeSWITCH servers running CentOS 5 and we are planning to replace CentOS 5 with a more recent Linux Distro.

Looking at wiki and docs I see FreeSWITCH team recommending Debian 7.

Right now we have picked 3 options for our upgrade path:

1) Debian 8 (Jessie)
2) Debian 7
3) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Among our options we really like to have a Distro either with systemd or upstart managing our daemons, therefore our options come to Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04.

I have read some posts users suggesting avoiding Ubuntu.

Does anyone suggest Debian 8 for production use?

Thank you,
