    Re: Heavy Metal for Human Beings

    I have been using Ubuntu-Server in a real-world server environment (web server) for 5 months now, I use ubuntu on all my workstations at home, and very soon my new Powerbook G4 1.67 (once the cdrom is detected).

    Having Ubuntu as my server distro is a dream, I know all the ins and outs. The apt-get system makes my life so easy. I added an automated script to email me when new packages are available... its great!

    The slight downside.. I had quite a fight with the i2o (Zero Channel Raid) because i2o is in the midst of a full re-write. A little hack.. a little tweak, and we're off!

    Thanks Ubuntu-Server.
