First off I think you mean Debian not Ubuntu (Debian is the base for Ubuntu).
Secondly, RHEL and its derivatives are far more popular in the business world than Ubuntu and its derivatives.
Ubuntu is pretty much only popular in the desktop linux space.
- kirushik 12y agoIt's not completely true. For websites Debian+Ubuntu is ~twice more popular than RedHat+CentOS: http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/os-linux/all/all http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/os-linux/all/all
- Alupis 12y agoThis stat is skewed by the default instance on things like EC2 being Ubuntu or Debian (should note that EC2 is built on RHEL/CentOS). There's an awful lot of people's blogs and one-off websites running on Ubuntu or Debian, sure. Those aren't really "business" use cases.
- Igglyboo 12y agoAlso that stat is only measuring "websites". As far as my company goes, the vast majority of our servers are not internet facing, I'm sure this is similar elsewhere.
