This brings up a question.  IMHO, "server" and "Ubuntu" are mostly 
mutually exclusive.  When I envision servers, I think mostly of 
installations that need high availability and are stable with periodic 
security updates only.  Since Ubuntu support stops after 18 months (So 
I've been led to believe) it doesn't seem to be a good option for server 
distros.

Granted there are some servers that want the latest and greatest, but 
are there enough?

Jim.
