The Ubuntu Server Edition - built on the solid foundation of Debian which is known for its robust server installations - has a strong heritage for reliable performance and predictable evolution. The Ubuntu Server Edition can become the backbone of many of the services that a typical business needs to run to be successful. With no license fees, an expanding ecosystem, minimal maintenance, a growing community of peers and references, Ubuntu Server Edition is making many organizations reconsider how they use Linux for their information technology needs.
