Yes many time. Latest is a Dell T-series machine with 64 bit dual-Quad core processors 128GB RAM, 450 GB and 550 GB hardware RAID along with a 500GB software RAID based on mdadm (machine supports upto 6 hdd). By far I have not faced any problems with ubuntu on server and most of the server machines are running 10.04. I only use LTS server version on server machines. > > Fedora is giving me pain on the graphics front, but that is immaterial > with a server.
