Re[4]: [Nolug] SCO and now Microsoft + Novell attacking Linux

Well, the conversation started with an Ubuntu vs. Debian slant, so I
assumed desktop because of the Ubuntu mention. Sure, you can use it
for a server, but frankly I haven't really seen it mentioned as being
used for anything but a desktop Linux. (Although Ubuntu's marketing
literature would beg to differ.)

That said, Ubuntu could be the greatest Linux server distro in the
world, but I wouldn't know since I haven't tried it. ;-)
