I guess it depends the which forums you are subscribed to, but I don't see any reason why Ubuntu is not suitable for a server. It would most likely depend on what apps you're going to use the server for. Stuff like mail, dns/dhcp, samba, LAMP, and such, Ubuntu is as suitable as most popular distros out there. It will boil down to where you're confortable with. If you're going to deploy a software like SAP or Oracle 10g RDBMS, you should think twice about Ubuntu. I say this mainly because it is **not yet** a distro that these software makers explicitly support. This is just a matter of time though as Ubuntu is gaining popularity (law of supply and demand). This applies as well to others, like Gentoo. --- mike t. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
