[ale] Linux Server distros

[Jim Popovitch]

Dude! Ubuntu Server Rocks! I d/l'ed and successfully installed it in 
less time than it took to research other distros.  My main problems have 
been AMD64 support, Nvidia nForce 4, RAID+LVM, Linksys GigE support, and 
VMware support.  Ubuntu 6 correctly identified everything and didn't 
have a single glitch.  The other distros I tried required required 
multiple install attempts, reboots, etc., and usually resulted in driver 
errors or kernel cores.  I've been a long time Debian fan, so using 
Ubuntu is easy for me, I just wish I had looked at it a month ago 
instead of today... er tonight... er this AM. ;-)

Thanks KingBahamut, yours was the best advice I got this week.
