Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Fedora is giving me a touch of versionitus

I started my account here at bodhost with Fedora FC6 and now Fedora is up to version 9 :p
This is in no way a fault of bodhost but an issue with Fedora... there have been some subtle improvements in newer versions of Fedora that are not added to Fedora 6. I suspect that Fedora 6 will have future unaddressed issues and that support for the FC 6 version are waning.
I suggest bodhost consider Ubuntu 8.04 LTS as one of the possible Linux VPS server OS's they use.
I like the guarantee of support for a long period of time, this is an issue I have with Fedora and all the versions released since I originally opened my account with bodhost.
I have been testing out the latest Ubuntu server locally for about a month. I like that I can manage to get the non free JDK installed and can run some java servers within 256 MB of memory. I found I could get around the Gui issue by installing a minimal non boot start copy of XFCE4.
So I get a lot of features and more recent software without need to consume disk space compiling and I don't have to use unsupported software repositories to get the latest patches and security updates packages.
I suppose I could go on but I think I made my point I would be happy to blow away my copy of Fedora 6 for a new copy of Ubuntu server. I currently don't have CPanel, the Vituozzo panel, or any other web control panel installed. I manage pretty well just using some of Webmin and commandline via ssh.

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for posting in our forum. So you basically require Ubuntu to be installed on your VPS ?

If so, we will be able to do the same for you and provide you the login information of a newly setup VPS.

Please let us know.

Best Regards,

Well that worked pretty well I see they are only doing Ubuntu 7.04. But that is fine it supports everything I wanted.
It seems that Ubuntu is still keeping up good support with plenty of updates for Ubuntu 7.04.
Thanks

If Bodhost is offering Ubuntu with all the Linux vps hosting plans then I think Bodhost should add it in the vps order wizard. It would become easy for the vps clients to order the vps with ubuntu.
