What problem are you trying to solve?
The main problem is that some of the audio/video encoders seem quite
out-dated in comparison to my desktop. This manifests itself in (among
other things) my tv box being unable to play back video encoded on my
server correctly. (I don't have this problem when it's encoded on my
ubuntu desktop though.)
The other problem is that there appears to be a bug in acpi which causes
it to reboot rather than shutdown frequently.
Also, the root hdd is dying which prompted me to think about a
re-install, and therefore investigate more up-to-date OSs.
From the various comments here I'm wondering if ubuntu server is the
way to go, although I'm really going off the major updates - they
haven't successfully for me since about 9.10.
