>I honestly don't know why someone would run Ubuntu on the server rather than Debian. Having just had this discussion at work, I can give you a few reasons: * Canonical's ecosystem, including direct support for OpenStack and some homegrown tooling around it like Juju. Also Landscape and MAAS. * 5 years of support on LTS images * Ubiquity, specifically the fact that Ubuntu has enough popularity (well beyond Debian's) that most of its issues are well known, and it has broad 3rd party support * Paid support on the base image (it's not like CentOS/RHEL where you need an entirely different OS to get paid support, you can just buy Ubuntu support) * PPAs (which is really just some tooling on top of a DEB repo, but it's still useful) I'm not sure what you mean by "targeted at servers" when http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server exists.
