Re: Debian vs Ubuntu for Enterprise Production Servers

[Richard Salts <rjsalts@thats.prettyfar.com>]

I've mainly stuck with Debian as I've figured my way around it, having been 
using it since slink, and experimenting more since potato going to sid at 
some stage during this period. However I did try out Ubuntu once or twice 
when KDE 3.5 was yet to hit sid and was a bit disappointed that a few issues 
crept into the stable release, kmail having no pgp support compiled in, the 
problem was fixed pretty quickly though. A friend of mine also had the 
apt.sources for breezy on a clean install of Dapper which caused a bit of 
confusion till I helped him figure out what was happening. These issues would 
make me personally lean toward Debian for a server install, but I'm already 
pretty biased.
