Thats my thought as well. Ubuntu desktop and CentOS for servers. Just wandering if anyone is using the 'Ubuntu Server Edition's'? They seem appealing but CentOS is what I am used too on servers now. Thought about loading it up on a box to just try though.

Not using, but I've tried it in a LAMP-configuration couple of years ago. Stability seems ok, but personally I don't like the sudo this and sudo that and sudo everywhere. Besides, it felt somehow clunky. CentOS seemed slim, slick and fast compared at the time, so CentOS is what I got stuck with (in an endearing sense of course).

Bah, sudo -i for the equivalent of su -.

Or more straightforwardly, "sudo su -". Works on Macs too.
