Craig, I run Ubuntu on my laptop which I use every day. It's a great distro and has a great community. I use it on a production server and it has worked out great for me. The next version comes out in a couple of days on the 18th. Ubuntu is pretty secure. If you want a firewall, you have to install one yourself using apt-get or Synaptic. As far as extensibility there are thousands of apps in the apt repositories. Again, the community is great. #ubuntu-utah on irc.freenode.net is a great resource. Lots of local Ubuntu users in there. I'd recommend giving Ubuntu a try. David _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
