My premise _exactly. Which is why you think _first_ when deploying Ubuntu in an enterprise environment and assess what you need. There are niches that RHEL works perfectly well, and where Ubuntu will suffice. But that does not mean that Ubuntu is a failure. And, again, Ubuntu's main target is the desktop sector and although they are slowly crawling on the server and enterprise space, they have yet to show enterprise tools compared to RHEL and SuSE. So yes, we can't expect massive Ubuntu deployments in the enterprise just yet. But they're getting there.

For stability, a lot of enterprise deployments opt for Debian for stability reasons and not for bleeding edge packages.

It depends upon the need. I'm working for an enterprise, and I use Ubuntu as my primary desktop. I have Fedora and CentOS virtual machines on remote servers. SLES on local servers. I'm using all of them simultaneously. As a consultant, it is my job to explore these distros and and provide alternatives to the client. There are cases where you just want to use RHEL, sometimes you want to use SLES, and times you just want Debian or Ubuntu. It's up to you really :). I have different distros for no particular reason at all. I love variety. That makes me explore them as well in a production setting. :) > > I am sorry for my bad english as english is not my first language, Thats > why i cant speak it perfect. > I am sorry if I have offended with my posts :) > > No problem. No offense taken. We are just having a healthy discussion :). We're all on the same side :). -- Penguin, penguin, and more penguin.
