[Building Sakai] Anyone using Ubuntu for Sakai in production?

[Berg, Alan]

Hi Joshua,

Sakai is Java based and is pretty OS agnostic. I run Sakai for local testing on Ubuntu. qa1-nl.sakaiproject.org runs Redhat. Looking at the 2.7 test instances http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/QA/QA+Servers+-+Sakai+2.7 the Spanish test server uses Ubuntu.

Redhat has certain advantages as it is recognised as providing professional support and certification. Though, I personally like the dependency management of Debian derivatives (e.g apt verses rpm or whatever) such as Ubuntu and work with this distribution at home and for my office desktop.

Is anyone using Ubuntu for Sakai in a production environment?

We're finding that keeping modern software running in Solaris becomes more
and more of a hassle and are looking for alternatives. Several of our staff
have experience administering Ubuntu, but we'd like to know about how well
Sakai works with it.
