This tutorial shows how to set up a Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) based server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters: Apache web server (SSL-capable), Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server, Courier POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. This tutorial is written for the 32-bit version of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, but should apply to the 64-bit version with very little modifications as well.

The perfect server - Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon
Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 72.206.122.74] on October 21, 2007 05:18 PMUbuntu is not nearly stable enough to be considered "perfect"
It's good for a distro that is more "bleeding edge" than say Debian Etch, but, when you want to talk about stability, the core of any server, Debian still is much better than any ubuntu server.
That is just the reality of the packages they use.
In regard to ANY Linux server, be it CentOS5 or Suse or Debian or even Business Edition (based on PCLinuxOS), it's all Linux, which automatically makes it a better server.
