Ubuntu and whatnot are dandy desktop OSes. For servers?
Cent OS is fine, just fine. Package management seems to be pretty much 6 of one, half dozen of another. I like BSDs ports, truth be told. Well, *real* truth be told, I like them all. And really really, I like compiling the crap and whatnot too, most times. Fighting those library conflicts by hand, like real men do. :-)p Seriously tho, there is a GREAT debate about how to handle libraries, in general (DLLs, etc.). Seems sorta like the "one big server" "No, lots of little computers" arguments. For *years* it rages, sometimes this way, sometimes that. I quite like it, for some reason. But it *is* fucking marvelous, to see the odious work rather magically done for you. When it all works as it should, of course (more often than not, these days *sigh* ;]). -- No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.
