Badtux the Snarky PenguinIn a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin. Religious fundamentalists are motivated by the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, is having fun -- and that this must be stopped. |
Monday, February 12, 2007Debian Etch vs. Ubuntu Dapper DrakeI'm thinking of moving over to Slicehost. One problem is that, because they are running Xen in native mode on 64-bit dual-core dual-processor AMD boxes, you're pretty much limited to 64-bit distributions, of which Debian Sarge is not. Thus only Debian Etch, currently in "testing", is available there.The other Debian-based distribution that they have available is Ubuntu Dapper Drake. This is what I"m running on my box at home, and it works okay, I guess. But Ubuntu doesn't have the track record of stability that Debian does. So just based on reputation, it's hard to tell which would be more stable and secure. I understand a few of you folks out there are pretty technologically nifty.

Nothing you wrote made any sense to me at all.# posted by K. Ron Silkwood : 13/2/07 12:18 AM
And here I thought Ubuntu Dapper Drake was a a Marxist who waged a twenty year campaign in Upper Volta...
I prefer Ubuntu, Debian Etch was added because we had no luck with a Sarge 32-bit build. |
