They are making a push there. On Amazon EC2 for instance if you want a premade AMI with Django and mysql, you'll get Ubuntu AMIs. Same with lots of other platforms. You dont' see lots of Windows and no mac servers...
- jrockway 18y agoSure, but only the most vehement fanbois use Apple or Microsoft servers.
- drawkbox 18y agoTotally agreed, that is why *nix and Ubuntu it seems will own in cloud computing. Others that are big are debian, fedora, SUSE, Redhat, Gentoo etc. Cloud computing seems like it will be owned by free os's for the most part on default options, thus they will win. The other surprise is that there is only one free postgres AMI yet 10 or so oracle and 20+ mysql. Granted many people make their own private AMIs but at least public AMIs on Amazon EC2 are slanted that way.
