The existence of the Ubuntu-Studio community helped us make our decision …

"The results have been fantastic. Ubuntu is very, very stable and the servers cope well with the lunch time ‘hit’. IT Lab usage has gone up during lunch and break times since we have been using Ubuntu. Plus, it has enabled us to increase the manageability of the network environment …
