seph has decided svn server

rah rah debian!

Asked 2 years ago

My choice: debian. Known, solid, old.

they are releasing etch Any Day Now.

I doubt it really matters for a machine that'll just be serving svn. Go with what you know. (And: debian unstable not that old...)

ubuntu LTS. less old, a bit less known. good enough for a server?

You can even buy support. And it comes with fewer politics and the same tools.
LogicalDash
They're pretty much the same under the hood anyway, and Ubuntu is more... you know... simple.

Ubuntu is definitely good enough, and the LTS release gives you even better long-term support than Debian's glacial release cycle.

Ubuntu seems to take support and release engineering pretty seriously.

I'm doing both, in different contexts. If there are large single commits, ubuntu's svn is rather newer than sarge's, and *might* save you from backporting...

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
