In a production server environment people commonly aren't eager to update the whole OS every year. I certainly wouldn't. And if you settle for a stable server environment, I, too, would rather go with the original debian than with ubuntu. Not that I particularly like either of them :} Cheers, Andrej ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
