Another bitter experience with UBUNTU 9.10 yesterday helped me prove to my stupid boss from forcing us to use UBUNTU based linux server. Ha!
UBUNTU 9.10 failed to add respective machine to our domain. I downloaded some openview or something software to add UBUNTU to my domain. It started throwing typical ubuntu errors. Hu hu!! tried doing some R & D by editing /etc/hosts etc.
It’s very much easy in opensuse to join it in domain.
OpenSuSe is already enterprise ready but not UBUNTU.
@sco1984: You might want to be careful. Your boss might not be as stupid as you think and call your bluff: “Are you sure it’s Ubuntu’s problem? Maybe you don’t know how to set things up? I thought you were a Linux expert and that you can make any distro work with Windows domains?”
Even with me who is very pro Ubuntu, I admit it is better with the desktop then the server, if this was my server I would use Redhat/Fedora, Debian or openSUSE.
FreeBSD would be my first choice though
