True as this may be (though I'd not put any of those on a server), it's
patently not Canonical's view, and I've seen many a server happily run
Ubuntu.

Really, though, there's nothing to Ubuntu that makes it particularly
poor in a server, perhaps it's not so well suited to a heterogenous
pool of them (I've never had the pleasure of such a collection of
machines), but as standalone boxes they're absolutely fine.
