No offense, but *if* you have to suggest Ubuntu you should be
suggesting 6.06 LTS, not any of the bleating, errrh, bleeding edge
and quickly fluctuating versions. 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 :}
