I'm interested.
What OS should I start with. I have no idea what I am going to be doing with it.
Whichever you want to learn

IMO, start with learning an application. Wordpress, FreePBX, whatever you want to learn.
Operating systems are a huge ball of wax and honestly take nothing to install. The problem is once installed, what do you do with it?
When you are this new, that is what happens. You do not even know enough to know what to do with a clean OS.
So instead install Nextcloud or WordPress, on CentOS 7 using one of my guides.
I try to always make one line comments in the guides for what each step is actually for.
This will give you experience dealing with CentOS 7 but with a purpose.
@scottalanmiller's stuff for installing things tends to scripts and one line concatenated commands.
These work well if all you want is the application running, but it is a useless learning tool.

I just use the small instance for a team speak server under Fedora. But you could easily do it under centos as well.

Just spin anything up. delete it and do something else when you think of something else.

An easy way to stop your couch stealing your money is to take your pants off before sitting on it.

You do realize that this entire thread was an announcement of this fact, right? They are temporarily sold out due to high demand. That's what that means.

Ahh, so I realized about this Pricing ($2.5) at the end
Hopefully, they will resume that pricing again soon.....

Is there anyone else providing with this range of Pricing ?

Nope. Linode is the same price structure but does not go as cheap.

Still sold out
Maybe there not coming back?

Perhaps, but they're still advertising it.
They seem to be reputable enough that they wouldn't stoop to the levels of the used car salesmen bait n switch but I'm only going by the feedback that I read.Unexpected popularity?
Either way, until you can buy it again or it's removed, uncertain the future is. -
If you're keen for more of that tier, keep hammering at their customer service reps for details/direction on it.
