Re: [ubuntu-uk] Should I move to Feisty?
Baz / Alan / Leon, Thanks for the advice. I went for Edgy rather than Dapper because (AIUI), MySQL5 was standard in Edgy and MySQL4 in Dapper - and the codebase we are running needs MySQL5 - (lots of stored procedures: in fact, as of last night, exactly 100 of them!) I think I'll stay with Edgy for the server farm. Regards, Mark -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Next LTS I suspect will be Gutsy+1 (April 2008), but that is merely a guess.

If its working fine, then I would stick with what you've got. In fact I would suggest "downgrading" to dapper then it will be supported for 4 more years ;) Leon -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

But for a server I'd stick with what's working. My server is running Ubuntu lts, and if it 'aint broke, don't fix it' is my motto for servers.

[ubuntu-uk] Should I move to Feisty?
As I write, I have a stack of four servers that need to "go live" next week sitting on the floor next to me. Two web-heads, two database servers - all installed with Edgy about a week ago and working nicely as a cluster. Now the key question - for SERVER use, is it worth doing the upgrade now, or should I just sit tight and stick with an installation that is working reliably and holding up under load-testing?
