Maybe I'm missing something but isn't the installer for Debian usually smaller and more tuned for servers, and isn't this command line only version of Ubuntu basically the same as Debian? Why use Ubuntu for servers?
- cabalamat 18y agoWhy use Ubuntu for servers? In my case because I use it on the desktop, I like it and I'm used to it. Ubuntu may well be similar to Debian, however I've never used Debian and I know Ubuntu is similar to Ubuntu.
- davidw 18y agoRight - they're both good, but several things about Ubuntu do it for me: 1) Since it makes such a nice desktop, I can run the same thing on desktop and server, which is handy, and a good way to reduce nasty surprises. 2) The regular release schedule is a good way of doing things. 3) I can run it on all the computers in the house, including my wife's, which makes it less of a hassle to keep track of.
- andrewtj 18y agoFor me it's the release cycle - Canonical means I'll never be stuck with a 3 year-old OS with 3 year-old apps + backports if I'm game.
