What Linux Are You Running

Probably around 700-ish CentOS 7 boxes, a few hundred CentOS 6, and 50-ish CentOS 5 boxes running some legacy applications we hope to phase out soon. I have heard mentions of some Ubuntu boxes somewhere, but not in production.
I work off of OS-X.
1-up!

I think you just trumped in total quantity all the non-Unix machines here
-
I have no clue how many non-Unix boxes we have here... I avoid anything Microsoft related and make sure I give disapproving glares to all the Windows Admins in meetings. I'm sure we have thousands of MacBooks floating around in the wild and probably 2/3 that number of Windows laptops.
-
@RamblingBiped That number of systems is insane.... what are they used for?
-
CentOS6, CentOS7 in production. CentOS6, CentOS7, and Ubuntu running in the lab
-
Ubuntu, CentOS, SuSE and Mint.
-
For work use as a server:
CentOS 7, Debian 8, and Ubuntu 16.10For home use as a server:
CentOS 7, Debian 8 and Ubuntu 16.10For home use as a desktops/laptops:
I tend to jump back and forth between Ubuntu, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and SolydXK and whatever else that looks interesting. -
Mainly CentOS7 but a couple of Ubuntu's
-
CentOS 7.

Korora 25 xfce on the laptop, CentOS on the Raspberry Pi and VPS.

@DustinB3403 We have four environments for each application's stage of development (DEV, QA, Stage, and Production). Each application server has a different component of a product running on it; usually a Java-based micro-service. Some products take 2 or 3 servers, and some take 30+. And each of these systems are by no means hefty. A lot of them are 1 vCPU 512M-1024M builds. The number of systems in DEV varies depending on experimentation and any new products being worked on.
We actually just started work on building out our Stage environment so we can fully implement CI/CD across all of our products. Myself and a few of my fellow Admins spun up 198 servers in a single sitting last week.
We manage everything using Chef.

Want to send some devs my way. Ours seem to think gigantic servers are needed for everything
-
Ubuntu Server 16.04
-
Couple of CentOS 7 and a couple Ubuntu Boxes
-
My Ubiquiti NVR runs Debian Wheezy.
-
CentOS 7 only currently

@stacksofplates The problem is never their code, it is always insufficient resources. More hardware(or vms/containers) is always the solution!
We try to design things small and scale upward in a distributed fashion as demand increases. If a pair of servers can't cope we spin another up and add it to the load balancer. We've got load balancers, message queues, and distributed databases in every nook and cranny.

For servers I go with Ubuntu Server. Most are running 14, though one or two are 16. We do have one or two CentOS servers, but they were put in place before my time.
For Desktops, I am partial to Ubuntu with the Cinnamon UI, but I spend most of my day in OS X at work and Windows 7 at home. But my work Macbook is due for replacement, so I am considering a high end PC laptop and switching to Ubuntu full time.

Somestimes I think about moving to Fedora more than CentOS due to how we work.
100% CentOS, about 95% of those are on 6. Just out of curiosity, what kind of workload for Fedora? I've honestly never understood it as a server.

Ya I build everything on minimal and add as needed. A few machines are running on 512MB.
Pretty sure our devs don't need 48 GB to run an oracle web server.
