I'd group myself into category 2 for daily usage, but the concept of requiring GUI tools to administer a server seems odd to me, and the insinuation that being an Ubuntu user makes a person more likely to fall into that category irked me a bit. maybe my troll detection is just miscalibrated. - nathan -- Ubuntu-us-or mailing list Ubuntu-us-or@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-or

[Ubuntu Oregon] public perceptions of Ubuntu for servers
I just had a job interview, and was surprised by some of the perceptions a group of sysadmins had about Ubuntu. (e.g. "You don't use a GUI to manage servers, right?") Has anyone else run into this? similar weird perceptions?
