Yes, I'm using Ubuntu Server 7.04 and administering it through ssh.
There's no monitor, keyboard or mouse attached, just a network cable
-- oh and power :).

How reliable are the backports? Would you rely on backports in a
production environment? This is only for my home LAN, but I have lots
of work-related and personal data on there, so am keen to make sure
the upgrade goes without a hitch.
