Ubuntu Server: The Linux OS Dark Horse

“Everyone has heard of Ubuntu Linux and how great it is on the
desktop, but have you heard that there’s a server version of that
same uber-cool operating system? There is, and you should know
about it. Ubuntu Server not only follows the same twice yearly
updates (April and October) as its desktop counterpart does, but it
also benefits from unsurpassed commercial support, consulting and
training available through Canonical.

“In the race to the data center, you might feel like you don’t
have room for yet another Linux-based operating system, but Ubuntu
is different from the current No. 1 choice: It’s free. You purchase
support for it only if you need to or want to. And, the upcoming
version, due for release next month, 10.04 LTS, is the long-term
support version, making no time better than the present to connect
with Ubuntu Server. Long-term support means that, should you select
Ubuntu Server 10.04 for your data center needs, it’s fully
supported for five years after the release date. Canonical releases
an LTS version every two years.”
