Plonistas are the greatest!
- Unanimous votes all around for Ubuntu, so that was a no-brainer.
- I last night installed Dapper server(6.09.2) but replaced it today
with Gutsy server (7.10) once I understood python2.5 could be readily
circumvented (as noted below and/or by using chroot)
- Extra thanks to Gustavo Orrillo who promptly and gladly answered my
email questions last night and today (without yelling out "April Fools"
I should add)
- By the release of 8.04 I will probably be ready to upgrade or
reinstall to the new LTS, which seems a really good idea.
- I had a couple snags (relatively minor) with Dapper, none with Gutsy.
I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Thanks everyone!

Which version(s) of ubuntu are you using?
I can also recommend Ubuntu and Debian. I'm using Ubuntu mostly now.
Someone mentioned ubuntu's Long Term Service (LTS) releases with 5 years of
security-updates for LTS-Server. 6.06 was a LTS-Release, 8.04 LTS is
scheduled for April 27. If you choose Ubuntu, use 8.04 Server LTS.
I am told 7.10 includes python
2.5 so I will need to use chroot to set up a python 2.4 virtual
environment for zc.buildout (I intend to follow Martin Aspelli's book).
Is this how you handle it?
Ubuntu 8.04 comes with Python 2.4 and python 2.5, but you can run the
bootstrap-script with 2.5 andpoint buildout to any python you want in
~/.buildout/default.py::
[buildout]
executable = /home/cs/zope/_appserver/python2.4/bin/python
eggs-directory = /home/cs/.buildout/eggs
download-directory = /home/cs/.buildout/downloads
