Hi, I never tried Ubuntu server but I once tried to stick with Ubuntu LTS on the desktop with hopes of getting a stable and supported desktop system but was completely disappointed. Ubuntu seem to just slap on "LTS" but when bugs were reportted their response was basically "fixed in the next release, it's too complicated to back-port the fix so upgrade to the next (I.e. Non-LTS) release". Huh???
Now as far as I'm aware their server is the same distro with a different set of default packages. As a long time debian user, today I stick to Centos for servers and leave Ubuntu for desktops. -Amos On 10/31/09, ik <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello list, > > I have never worked with Ubuntu server, and after the release yesterday, I > was wondering about what is better regarding a "normal" server (not a cloud > or any other grid) ? > I can't find any normal compression at Google, so other then cloud > computing, what are the benifit of each server, if I require normal HTTP, > database and IMAP+SMTP servers ? > > Any pointing for this information or any knowledge from experience is more > then welcome. > > Thanks, > Ido > _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
