fedora over ubuntu
One of my tasks this week was to setup a web server for some sites currently hosted on the tragedy of the grid.
I was planning to install Ubuntu server and setup the system in a few hours but I had so many issues with Ubuntu Server. I rather not go into details because I can’t remember them all but one major problem was webmin and gnome. I hate to rely on a UI to manage a server but it makes my tasks so much easier. Gnome installed fine after an apt-get command but there are so many dependencies that it took hours for it to download and install. At that point I was already frustrated with the install that the problems with webmin, configuration and installing some other server packages I had givin up and started the fedora core 6 downloads.
Today I had the time to finish the system but the installation was as easy as Ubuntu except for the 5 CDs it took to install everything. That was the only downside.
(Eye killer alert.)

Good post. Not to mention that mod_ntlm won't compile for Ubuntu without actually changing the source code for the compile. I had a 2 month headache over this trying to find out what the hell Ubuntu had done to make this so difficult.
Finally got it compiled only to find it didn't work after compiling. I scrapped Ubuntu Server and went with CentOS and found myself working on the stuff that matters in less than 2 hours after installing.
