I want to set up a mission critical (i.e. a lot of critical
information is being shuttled to and from the server/system) solution
on Linux, and I have a choice on the distribution.
I don't want to start a distro war (again), but I would like to know
how many people in the list will actually trust Ubuntu on the Server
as compared to something like CentOS/RHEL, SuSE, or Debian ?
I have the following criteria for evaluation:
* Vulnerability Assessment
* Security Update Frequency and Relevance
* Robustness (no unstable/untested software installed)
* Stability (predictable and non-erratic behavior)
* Unbloatedness (contains only essential components in base system)
* Scalability with Hardware (should support hardware for scalability
(SAN, RAID, Gigabit Ethernet Channel Bonding, Hot Swappable Drives,
Failover Power Systems Support, Clustering (HPC/HA) ) ).
So far, for all these items Ubuntu still doesn't rank as well as
CentOS/RHEL, SuSE, and even Debian.
I might be alone in this view, but can someone please enlighten me
about how well Ubuntu is doing on the server side?
