With the release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, the more observant of you may have noticed Ubuntu snuck itself back onto the list of available operating systems for the UltraVM Cloud Platform.
Ubuntu 10.04 is the latest generation of the long term supported codebase, and brings with it a number of technological advances, including kernel modules enabling it to plat nicer in a virtualized environment, as well as adding support for our cloud platform.
After performing a closed beta and numerous performance tests, we have seen Ubuntu server out perform a number of already available Linux OS including CentOS, whilst the management tools available make it a breeze to maintain.
It is for this reason, that we recently made the decision internally to freshen our Linux environment, replacing a mixture of operating systems and architectures with Ubuntu 10.04. As we go through this process, we will be posting a number of useful tips & tricks to effectively manage your Ubuntu server.
