ubuntu a desktop OS?

[Johan van Zyl]

HI
Yes, I would also like to know.
Can Ubuntu seriously be used as a Server to host a Firbird SQL database
etc.?
I still not have resolved the issue on how to install Firebird 1.52 on
Ubuntu!
Thx

  Hello everybody,

  I have just recieved my Ubuntu 5.04 last week. And thenI try to install it
on one of my pc for testing and get to know it as a distribution. But
according to some local linux people here they said that Ubuntu is just
designed to be a desktop OS. In this connection, I planned to replace my old
FC1 (Internet and local network server) with Ubuntu. Now I would like to ask
your technical opinion if Ubuntu is good, efficient and effective to be used
as my Internet and local network server or it is just for desktop purposes
only?

  Your inputs are highly appreciated. Thank you.

  Tata
