We've finally decided for good that the raffles hall server will be based on Ubuntu. Actually, Debian will be a good option, but then again, why not ubuntu? Since it's a university residential hostel, and people will be more interested in the "happening" ubuntu, unlike offices which will prefer rock-solid Debian with ultra long term support.
So yay! the new server will be running on Ubuntu 9.10 once it's up! Can't wait for that day to happen!
Will blog about the exciting new features once I start using it!
