Before Ubuntu came onto the scene, I didn't even /know/ what a regression was. Today it's a common word in my lexicon, because of Ubuntu's pathetic testing and quality control process (or lack of process, more likely). An operating system vendor who issues a package with a syntax error (so that the package doesn't even start up, leave alone do something wrong), is a pure crap snake oil vendor in my book.
So, the question: will I trust Ubuntu on an Internet-connected system? Nah.
Will I trust Ubuntu on a server? Er, please excuse me while I finishing laughing hysterically!
Use Debian or CentOS or any of those reasonably tested other distributions for your boxes, and when someone asks you to use Ubuntu, in the immortal words of Fancy Raygun, ``Just Say No!''.
/me concurs.
I go exclusively with Debian and CentOS on servers.
