Indeed. I would rather run Debian on a server any day. It's a whole lot easier to administer, and doesn't have all the mega-modifications of Red Hat/Fedora or SUSE. The Ubuntu server comes with a pre-fab LAMP stack. I would like to see a prefab mail server based on anything-but-Sendmail with all the pieces already in place: MTA, IMAP, POP, groupware, Webmail, anti-spam and A/V. Make it talk to a Web browser and no more hassles with supporting multiple mail clients. I call that sysadmin happiness.

add Ruby/gems/rails[mySQL, PstgreSQL],[Apache,LigHTTPd],capistrano and configure. add java,j2ee,hibernate,eclipse,[mySQL, PstgreSQL],apache, tomcat/jakarta and configure.

all from apt-get.

They would really be just .debs with dependancies on other .debs, and scripts to handle configuration.

I might try to do a rails set (if my current project gets caught up).
