080511 15:35:42 <Simetrical> mark, why Ubuntu?
080511 15:39:28 <mark> it's debian but with predictable release cycles
080511 15:44:36 <mark> at some point ubuntu got all hyped and I saw an
opportunity to get everyone convinced to use something debian based
<DebianFanBoyMode fanaticism="high">
Pfff. Real men use Debian, the real thing, not the "debian based"
hype. :)
</DebianFanBoyMode>
I use Debian GNU/Linux for my desktops and laptops (lenny/testing with
some sid/unstable plus custom things) and servers (etch/stable with some
volatile and custom things) and I am very happy, never had any problem,
always serving me with great stability and security.
At some point I had tried Ubuntu for desktops/laptops/servers and very
quickly I replaced it with Debian for all machines
(desktops/laptops/servers), never looking back.
May I ask whether you really tried Debian at all in the Wikimedia server
farm before choosing Ubuntu?
