Canonical Chases Deal to Ship Ubuntu Server OS
Kurtz'sKompund writes "Canonical, the company that supports Ubuntu Linux, is trying to work out a deal with hardware vendors such as Dell to make Ubuntu available pre-installed on servers. 'Canonical, despite obviously supporting such a deal, had little to do with Dell's decision. Dell said it was merited by customer demand. Likewise, the decision of whether Ubuntu Server will ship pre-installed will be determined the same way.'"
Should we not look at other Alternatives other than Ubuntu for a server? C'mon what about about CentOS?
Then again who wants a Dell server.
Ubuntu? I'll take a pass. Especially having seen recent demonstrations of Ubuntu's security model.
Lunix may be free... but they can't PAY me enough to use that stuff.
you sir are a visionary. the way you were able to see all the variables and come up with the perfect answer for everyone.
you're so good at paring down an argument, gutting logic so that it's an empty bag, flitting across the lawn....
you should run for president.
now for reality. your comment is beyond useless. if your comment was a person, it would be squarely placing the business end of the barrel, under the chin, big toe stretching for the trigger.
if you're going to come up with any more nuggets of wisdom, i suggest you do the same.
have a good day.
you fat retard, don't you know debian features a minimal install where nearly NOTHING, not even server software, not even desktop, nothing installs but the core utils ? and you're saying debian makes more decision than Ubuntu ?
it's your fault if you selected a task like server task with tasksel. Just do a minimal install and install one by one everything you actually need, retard. Tasks are made for retards who don't know their ways inside the packaging system.
