[TriLUG] Debian vs. Ubuntu server

[David McDowell]

Why not stay with CentOS 4.x?  Works perfectly fine for me.  My only
complaint is since I dropped my backup server so I could save space, I
added an external firewire drive for my rsync job.  Well, CentOS 4.x
(RHEL 4 Ux) freakin doesn't support firewire.  So at home I have to
run kernel unsupported, but it seems perfectly fine and I have my
firewire.
