hi,  
does anyone use ubuntu server in production?  
i am currently using ubuntu server 8.04. is there any benefit to  
moving to 10.04 for ruby/rails on apache.

there are bugfixes in apache ([Index of /httpd](http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/)  
CHANGES\_2.2) and some kernel changes (the scheduler change looks  
interesting)  
but does that warrant moving to 10.04 - i can always install apache  
from source.  
what do you guys suggest or use in production?

PS: cross-posting to ‘deploying rails’ and rubyonrails group

cheers,  
deepak

centos/redhat is by far the most used server on production. All my Rails  
apps run on centos servers.

That said I run Ubuntu locally and I’ve heard good things about Ubuntu  
server.
