- haakon 13y agoUbuntu Server is quite nice, and for someone who uses (K)Ubuntu on the desktop it's nice to have an apt-based system on the server.
- cies 13y agoI will not voluntarily use "yum" on a server in a million years. Debian has always been my favorite, and currently we use Ubuntu on servers as the OS-packages-as-shipped are more up-to-date; which turns out to be quite important in web-dev-land. Frankly I dont know what CentOS/Redhat does better then Ubuntu nowadays, apart from selling enterprise stuff like JBoss :)
- jgillich 13y agoWhat's wrong with yum? I never had any issues with it on Fedora and CentOS and actually prefer it over apt* (mainly due to it's speed).
- baconhigh 13y agoWhat? There is almost no evidence that your comment is in any way true. Ubuntu has great Long Term Support - which is exactly what this is about and the apt package management is far superior to Yum (IMO at least) - Plenty of high profile companies use Ubuntu for servers.
