After recent disappointments with Fedora 8, I am looking elsewhere. I
kind of liked Ubuntu and am wondering if anyone tried Debian or Ubuntu
servers.
Have you found a rock solid, easy to upgrade linux server distro?
I have used Debian on two machines. Both running samba, apache, php, perl, mysql, webmin, CUPS, BIND and so on.
I had one mysterious apache lockup in two years. Stopped and restarted it. Problem gone.
Seconded.
I use Debian on all my servers, and Ubuntu on the Desk/Laptops.
As Ubuntu is Debian based, they are very similar to configure.
Ubuntu is just a bit more leading edge to support all the latest fancy gadgets. Debian is more stable and good for servers.
