With Ubuntu occupying the #1 spot as far as popularity is concerned according to www.distrowatch.com

I'm interested in the cons of Ubuntu as far as using it as a server in the enterprise.

Comments and opinions are welcome!

Well, depending on what you plan to do with it - you might find more 'enterprise' support for RHEL and SuSE.

For example: SAP, Oracle, and IBM release officially supported versions of their products for both RHEL and SuSE. This is a lot easier to sell to your C-levels. They really don't care about anything except how much it costs, how much support costs, and who can be blamed/sued if something doesn't work.

Canonical is still fairly new, and you would want to check the official support for whatever product you planned to run on it. Make sure it's on the official support list.


That said - we are starting to use it where I work, though largely in a lab/test capacity for conceptual work.
