I use ubuntu for a quick evaluation or testing ( www.alestic.com) but for deployment we use gentoo/funtoo. But its a fact that lot of companies go with redhat/centos as enterprise deployment solution. Ubuntu is slow to catch up the server side market with 9.10 release they have almost achieved better packaging for kernel and hence future seems bright for ubuntu. > > Y so? any specific reason?

But what makes it the distro of > choice for cloud and how is it different from UEC? please clarify. > UEC == Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud == http://www.eucalyptus.com/ it help you to setup a private cloud, just that most of the things they do is in sync with amazon ec2. in short we can say UEC is open source implementation of amazon ec2. what probably karan means is that since redhat/centos is enterprise ready from long time lot of companies would be deploying it. At the moment i dont have stats to prove this point tho. > > -- > Warm Regards, > Yogesh. > http://tinyurl.com/yogeshg1987 > _______________________________________________ > ILUGC Mailing List: > http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc > -- http://picasaweb.google.com/gnuyoga संगच्छध्वं - Let's move together M: +91 9 880 330 330 @: sree [at] openbravo [dot] com IRC channel #openbravo at irc.freenode.net Skype: gnuyoga _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
