Our very first, nixCraft poll we asked readers of this blog the question:
Do you own or recommend AMD64 based system?
Thanks to everyone, total 670 people responded to the poll. Results are as follows:
- 89% said either they own or recommend AMD64 based system
- 7% do not recommend it at all
- 4% recommend Intel based system
I am planning to purchase new server based on dual AMD64 for my home/office network. It will run either Red Hat enterprise or Debian Linux. :)
New poll: Are you going to try or upgrade to enterprise grade Ubuntu Linux (code-named Dapper Drake)?
New Enterprise-Level Ubuntu Due This Week and our new poll question is:
Are you going to try or upgrade to enterprise grade Ubuntu Linux ?
Originally, Ubuntu Linux was introduced as an easy to use desktop Linux os. Now they are introducing enterprise version. Debian is stable and perfect choice for (besides RHEL/Suse and other Linux distros) my server requirements. Therefore, I am just wondering if you: Are you going to try or upgrade to enterprise grade Ubuntu Linux?

I already did weeks ago.
That is cool man :)
Can you explain your experience or difficulties? Currently I am using Red Hat product, which is also good but a little expensive for home and small business.
BTW, when it will be available I will be the first to download and try out
Thanks

I’d never convert my CentOS box to Ubuntu. Things are more stable (I’ve got a parallel ubuntu box at work that operates inline with the CentOS box…but only the CentOS box is used…it’s more stable).
CentOS is 100% RHEL clone. So it is better and stable, IMPO.
Nope. Sticking with CentOS. Couldn’t be happier with it.
