[TriLUG] Linux Distribution for server Opinions

[Neil L. Little]

Before getting kicked to the curb...

We had two servers and both used the server versions of Ubuntu. The 
attempt before the change to Ubuntu was Fedora. This was when Fedora was 
having problems with their user community or rather I was finding it 
difficult to find answers. It all ended when the Fedora server became a 
porn generating zombie and I moved on to Ubuntu.

The bossman made me install desktops on the two servers because (and 
these were his words...) he didn't "get" command line. As you can 
imagine the boss man is a "mouse warrior" M$ Winders type.

I wonder who he has caring for those servers now?...
