 I'm quite impressed with Ubuntu as a desktop system, but for servers I'd
probably pick straight Debian, or one of the other distros that others
have been suggesting here.

 Not that Ubuntu *can't* be a good server, but that's not really its focus
and for a server you want stability. A bit[1] of flakiness in exchange for
currency/convenience is acceptable in a desktop, but not in a server.

 Sincerely,

 Ray Ingles                                             (313) 227-2317

 Remember, the Japanese-Americans selected for internment in WWII were
  picked based on Census data. The government simply ignored the laws
     blocking it from using that data, and went ahead and did it.

    Now, 'just to prevent terrorism', they want all *your* data...

 [1] Note: a 'bit'. I've had much more than a 'bit' of flakiness from
my new Vista box than from my new Ubuntu 7.04 install.
