I would like to evaluate the possibility of using Ubuntu instead of
Debian on some of our servers. It is often more up-to-date than
Debian, and has more frequent stable releases. Hopefully the
advantages of this are obvious -- newer versions of software that we
use, and a more stable upgrade path for said software when compared to
our current Debian testing setup. I've used Ubuntu interchangeably
with Debian at my LUG's servers, and it works quite well as a server
OS.
I'll put in a big request for this NOT to happen. I've dealt with
some Ubuntu installations and I can't say that I really enjoy them.
They seem to also have way to high of an overhead for what you get.
If we actually wanted the things that we could get with that
overhead, then maybe, but it seems like a complete waste. While we're
talking about something like this (not that it's going to change
anything) my personal preference would be to see either Slackware or
OpenBSD on one of the servers; of course Debian is as good as any,
and it's a very nice system, no reason really to change it that I see.
I would also suggest if we use Debian, that we stick with only
stable releases, given the trouble that the testing version gave us
recently.
I definitely agree with this.
