Ubuntu server edition is out with the 8.04 release. Switching from Debian for my server gave me the opportunity to have something stable but with some new nice features the could be good for anyone.
Packages provided are newer than in Debian, this is an advantage. The slow release cycle for Debian is what is contributing to its stability but now things are going to fast and the idea of syncronicity in free software projects from M. Shuttleworth is a good idea.
Ubuntu brings services that can be deployed really quickly for mail, web, DNS, file serving or database management. LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) are also available at set up.
I didn’t use the ‘server’ community documentation but if it’s a friendly and reactive as the “Desktop” one, then ubuntu is really the best choice.
to set up my server with lamp, RoR, ftp, postfix and dovecot it took only 2 hours, and no real problem. Everything went just fine.
