Peter:
I know this is a OEM issue, but I´ve seen Ubuntu efforts to bridge the 
gap, like the server certification 
(http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201203-10669/)
In any case, I think Ubuntu Server enterprise adoption would be boosted 
if Canonical bet some coins to develop or promote this kind of server tools.

Just my 2 c.

Thanks again.
