Wouldn't back Canonical stuff

If you want to run a non-mission critical web server on Linux and you want something simple, then Ubuntu Server might be okay.

Don't get me wrong, I really like Shuttleworth and what he's trying to do. But if you're doing anything serious and *you know want you're doing* then go upstream. Debian is much more stable, has a better track record and comes from a commercially solvent org.

I certainly wouldn't want to stick mission-critical stuff on an OS produced by a company that's never been in the black.

Did the same with Google and guess what? I got The Office TV programme.

This is marketing toss that shouldn't be given the time of day by El Reg.
