Hi Arturo,Out of curiosity, why was Debian chosen as the sole flavor of Linux to offer? I see the reference to that decision on the page that you linked, but not an an explanation of that decision.Thanks!_______________________________________________On Fri, Sep 28, 2018 at 9:34 AM Arturo Borrero Gonzalez <aborrero@wikimedia.org> wrote:Hi!
We would like to share some information regarding Wikimedia Cloud
Services plans for deprecating Ubuntu, specially Trusty.
Ubuntu Trusty's end-of-life is April 2019 and the WMF decided to
consolidate in a single operating system, which is Debian.
In Cloud VPS, projects containing Ubuntu virtual machine instances have
been contacted by means of a Phabricator task. Toolforge users aren't
affected by this right now, because Toolforge itself is currently
running Trusty. But we are already working on the next, Debian-based,
Toolforge version.
All this information, more details (and timelines), can be found on
this Wikitech page:

Please, let us know any question or doubt you may have.
Best regards.
