No, they were upgrading the OS from the Worlds Worst Linux Distro (Ubuntu 12) to the Worlds Second Worse Linux Distro (Ubuntu 14), which they had completed by midnight :)


(Needless to say, the main OOF stuff does NOT use Ubuntu ;D)

Given a choice, I'd run real Unix. But I'm not rich enough ;D

 ;D ;D SCO & DEC were my first exposures to real Unix.. but nobody would be mad enough to run those at home, I'm sure! (That was in my first *nix related job)

FreeBSD or OpenBSD are both great choices for reliability now, though, IMHO. As long as the reliability>hardware support works in your favour.

Real men run Gentoo and compile from source.

Deep down, I have a soft spot for Solaris. Riduculously stable, even under low resource conditions
