Greg,<br><br>I would use Ubuntu. For me, apt-get beats yum 6 times out of 10. I have had issues with Ubuntu as a DNS server (mainly zone transfers) and that forced me to use FC5 for my DNS. I'm using Ubuntu as NAS storage while I try to insert it into my NDS tree. In October, I'm looking to use it for a new OpenNMS server and possibly a NetReg server.

<div>Greg,<br><br>I would choose Ubuntu. It's Debian based. apt-get rocks. I started out on Mandrake 8.2 ... up until the first Mandriva 2006 release... and I can tell you right now, I never plan on converting back to an rpm based system (unless the masses are, then I could possibly take a look). I have been told that Ubuntu is just awesome. Hardware support, ease of use, tools, etc. If I had a choice, I would go Ubuntu. The only reason I use RPMs is because some servers I manage have RHEL.

I had asked earlier if anyone had used Ubuntu for server work. (Matthew,<br>sorry I don't do IRC and I didn't respond till now.)<br><br>>From what I have read, the major difference between the two, Fedora is<br>SELinux (SUSE is also SELinux.) Ubuntu claims to have closed all but the
<br>necessary ports. Is that enough to be secure?<br><br>Ubuntu 6 has better management tools.<br><br>FC has a 9 months life, then it becomes legacy which lasts ...? Ubuntu 6<br>will have five years of guaranteed project support.
