I use OSX, Ubuntu and OpenBSD
OSX for my SMS needs (probably can be done in ubuntu)
Ubuntu for mouse-related programs (GIMP, Firefox)
OpenBSD for devel and servers (~90% of my time)
Try OpenBSD, ... after a while, u will feel that Ubuntu is lacking
Ubuntu does not have FTP, SSH servers installed by default (must apt-get things) ... in OpenBSD, it's just an edit to config away (ftp is installed but not running)
Ubuntu's FTP client is crippled (mget/msend broken), No feedback on how % file's transferred, freeze a lot too
apt-get is complicated (universe, stable, unstable and what not). OpenBSD just uses pkg_add (tgz files) and PKG_PATH set to an FTP server ... really simple
Ubuntu is pretty secure; by being weak, it can't do a lot of damage. OpenBSD is very secure ... and dangerous if u need the power
To me, Ubuntu feels like that it's designed for mass by a committee - the devs themselves may not use it
Of course, I downloaded the Ubuntu DESKTOP (not the server version) ... and use it as such (desktop, i don't care if it's weak)
and comparing desktop vs server OS is like comparing apple to orange, right? I'm sorry for ignoring Ubuntu server OS
NB: it's not a bashing against Ubuntu, I in fact use it, mainly for new hardwares (bluetooth, etc) where OpenBSD lack drivers
