Re: corporate solutions run on Red Hat not Ubuntu. Thoughts...?



Well, I run Ubuntu servers and the lack of support has never been an issue
because I have never needed support. I run Gutsy on them, samba, mysql, cvsd,
and apache and have had no problems with the installs. They pretty much don't
need much care.

I did run RH for a while. I was not real happy with it. If you can't get what
you need from a RH package it is all too easy to hose the system. Also,
having used RPM based package systems (RH, Mandriva 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2) and
the DEB based Ubuntis, I can say the DEB systems have never left me in
dependency hell, which is where I found myself all to often with the RPM
systems.

Here's what I'm looking at.

1. http://www.zimbra.com/ - I'm using this on Ubuntu

2. http://www.scalix.com/ - Red Hat and Suse

3. open xchange - community addition runs on Ubuntu

QUESTIONS

How do Ubuntu server administrators feel about the lack of Ubuntu support?

Should I switch my servers to Red Hat? I haven't do this because it costs
$$$.
