I recently started using Ubuntu server LTS for some production web
servers due to the fact that it is SO easy to run. However, usually
guess you get what you pay for. I've noticed that many majorpackages
for things such as Apache2 and PHP5 don't really stay up to date too
much.
You don't want them to on a Server - you need stability and security
patches. Every time a package is updated you need to re-test all your
Applications / Web sites etc.

I would completely agree with that Alan. My goal as the guy running the
server isn't for features for features sake, but to maintain the most
stable, secure environment to get the task at hand completed for the
application guys. That being said, would the default repositories be good
enough for a standard run-of-the-mill LAMP server? The information I've
received on this thread have been a great help so far, and I'm just
wondering if there are any other steps that I can take, automated and simple
if possible :), but whichever route, it needs to be the most comprehensive
one.
Thanks again!
