I've made at least 10 server installs in last month and all of them use LVM. Some of those servers even have partitions over 3TB. I would say that Ubuntu's LVM/RAID setup is flawless, which isn't something I could say for Fedora. > Even with an existing filesystem set up by the Fedora installer, > installing in these configurations is impossible. This is general LVM "bug". If you install Fedora on system and then get new Fedora and let it automatically partition you disk - installation will fail. So it will any other Linux installation. Difference is that with Ubuntu server installation you could fix that problem, but with Fedora you'll have to restart whole installation and then fix it. > http://www.ubuntu.com/server makes it sound like ubuntu should be a > solid server platform, but I can't even get started.

And you can count RHELs here too. What RedHat has, ATM, and Ubuntu doesn't is better vendor support. -- Ante Karamatic | 0xD3BDA225 | 0x0A4A0161 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ivoks.blogspot.com "Tomorrow is my day off, so please stay off the powder!" -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
