Ubuntu Linux Reviews

Some of my customers use Red Hat, some of them use Debian, and some of them use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is popular for ordinary customers and some of our clients use Ubuntu. I have experience with most main distributions, such as SUSE, Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS, and Debian. 

A Majority of my customers would rather be Using CentOS, RHEL, and OLE but also some are looking for easier interface and simplicity. it suitable for newcomers and desktop users. What appeals to me about it is that you wouldn't have trouble with your drivers.

Ubuntu has a good interface, it is easier to use than other distribution such as CentOS or Red Hat. It's suitable for beginners who want to start learning Linux. It has a simple interface and it's easy to use. Ubuntu is suitable for someone looking for a desktop Linux.

I prefer to use Debian instead of Ubuntu because Debian is the main distributor. Debian is more stable than Ubuntu. In some projects, I have had some problems with Ubuntu Linux. I finally figured out the root cause. It goes back to repositories. On Ubuntu, you can use main repositories and the source of a package that you install from. If you change repositories, you will get trouble and have difficulties with Ubuntu.

Ubuntu should create some specific features, like Red Hat. Red Hat has provided many features for open-source, like FreeIPA. I can centralize the management and policy management. It's very good, like Microsoft. That has an active directory, a special directory service for the customers. 

I'm looking for enterprise features. I'm looking for specific features in the storage area, in the file system area. I'm looking for management solutions, integration solutions, like SUSE and Red Hat.

Because of some cutting edge packages, I think stability is good. Sometimes you need software that is not in the main repositories. Ubuntu tries to involve new software in their repositories.

I think there isn't a difference between Ubuntu and other distributors. If you have enough experience in Linux, you can implement most solutions, and there aren't any specific features between most of the major Linux. 

I have been working with several companies that use Linux in their office but they use Linux servers and most of them use Oracle Linux or CentOS and some of them use Debian. Some employers in these companies use Ubuntu so there are not very many users. 

I haven't used Ubuntu's support up until now. In most situations, my colleagues and I can resolve problems based on our experience, internet forums, and many papers that you can find everywhere about Linux.

The problems we would encounter would depend on the service we're working on. I implemented FreeIPA for some of my customers and I had some problems with the installation process. The main Ubuntu documents couldn't help me anymore. I had to look for extra documents on the net. I can resolve it from Red Hat or even Debian documents. It takes a reasonable amount of time to find a solution. 

Don't change main repository of Ubuntu otherwise, you will get trouble.

The initial setup is very simple but not as simple as Mint. In the desktop area, Mint Linux is easier than Ubuntu Linux. Statistics show that Mint is more popular than Ubuntu but the setup is not difficult compared with Red Hat or another distributor. 

All of my projects have been done by the internal team. 

It is not easy to find out ROI for such a solution but you don't have to pay for buying and most of the time for support.

All of them are free most of the time if you have good Linux admins.

I have been working on many Linux Distro till now. I evaluate the new release of the main distros to find out new features.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

We use the solution for business use and running applications.

The solution is easy to use.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

The solution could be more stable and secure.

The solution is scalable.

I am satisfied with the technical support.

There is an annual subscription for this solution.

I would recommend it to others.

I rate Oracle Linux a ten out of ten.

We mostly use the Ubuntu 14 version, although this varies from one customer to the next. We always utilize the latest stable version when embarking on a new project. 

We use the solution for application development and integration. We employ it as an e-commerce solution or when writing a connector between two systems, such as for website development. 

The trifecta comprising the solution's most valuable features consists of its stability, security and performance.

A problem we have encountered when installing the package is that certain packages are not available, which requires downloading of them on our part. As such, the solution should have a better repository of packages. Otherwise, one must download them from a third party slide. However, as I am not involved in the monitoring aspects, DevOps or Linux, I am probably not the best person to comment on this. 

From an end-user perspective it would also be nice to see better support and guidance when concerning the installation process, better training facilities when it comes to the solution's use. 

There is also a need to rely on third party websites for information which concerns the setup and it would be good if it were synthesized in such a way that the user could comfortably learn it autonomously. 

I have been using Linux for nearly 15 years, since around 2005. I am accustomed to its use, as would most people who have familiarity with Kibana Linux. At this level it is of no consequence. We get the installation package and this should be readily available. 

The solution is stable. Windows crashes all the time. Ubuntu Linux is definitely stable by comparison. 

While I cannot comment on the ability to scale the solution on-premises, I can say that this is very easy to accomplish on-cloud. It is now much easier than it used to be. 

I have not had much contact with technical support, not recently at any rate. I now work as an architect and don't come in contact with the support team. I work mostly with our team when it comes to assisting with the setup of Linux. 

The initial setup of the solution is a bit complex when compared with Windows, but there is a learning curve involved. Nobody can start using Linux straight off the bat, as a certain amount of expertise or skill is required. This said, if one has the right people for the job, ones who are acquainted with the solution, then this shouldn't pose a challenge. Docker now makes it easier than ever to deploy anything one wishes on Linux, particularly when it comes to Kubernetes. 

While I cannot state definitively how long the deployment takes, as I have not done it in a while, by and large I would say that this is not a time consuming process. Installation should range from a half-a-day to one day. If the main application on one's Docker is up and running, this process can be completed very quickly. So, the initial time-consuming step would involve creating the Docker file. 

Once installed, the product does need some monitoring and there are five CPUs involved in this process. In terms of Linux and cloud, there is also a need to keep track of the cost. These are the security and performance aspects which require monitoring. 

I am not in a position to comment on the licensing, as we mostly make use of the free version. 

Our company has over 14,000 employees and this makes it difficult for me to give a hard and fast number of how many use the solution, although I would estimate that 70 percent do so for development purposes. 90 percent of our employees use Windows 10 on their personal computers. 

I would recommend this solution for development and production purposes for the simple reasons that it is free, stable, secure and shows good performance. These are the four things that I am looking for. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux as a seven out of ten. 

The Ubuntu LTS server is very stable. I use Ubuntu on most of my servers and I'm very pleased.

Updates on packages are the main reason that I use the Ubuntu server. With this tool, my servers are up-to-date and secured. It is easy to use. The Ubuntu server is good for new admins. We use it for HAProxy load balancers, to database, and web servers with high availability.

I think it should only be for the desktop. Maybe it is good idea to say goodbye to Unity and say hello again to Gnome.

I have been using Ubuntu for five or six years. I use it mostly on web servers.

It is very stable. For all those years, I never had any problems.

I've never used technical support. I use askubuntu.com which is free and it is great!

I used SlackWare, then Debian. My most important servers are still using Debian, but the other ones are Ubuntu servers.

The setup was straightforward. It is pretty easy to use for beginners to advanced admins.

Use Linux. It is free!

We did not evaluate other options.

Ubuntu is a very stable Linux. I highly recommend it.

I provide products for my customers. There are no limits to this solution.

Customers can use it for almost all applications and they can use it for their own systems.

Once you are used to it, it is quite flexible. It is more powerful because you have more control over it.

It's not as easy to use as Windows by Microsoft. It could be easier to use.

I have been providing this solution to my customers for a few years.

It is stable to an extent. Microsoft and Apple are more stable.

The stability definitely can be improved. When we are implementing patches and new releases, it tends to fail.

We have one customer using Ubuntu.

We will continue to provide this solution for our customers.

There is a lot of support available on the internet. Getting solutions is not difficult.

People tend to use Google to try to solve the problem they may be having.

The initial setup can be complex. The installation could be simplified.

It can take a couple of hours to implement.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are using Ubuntu Linux to run applications.

The solution is user-friendly.

The solution could improve by having the user interface use fewer resources.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for approximately 10 years.

Ubuntu Linux is a highly stable solution. We have not had any problems at all.

The solution is scalable.

We have only a small number of people using this solution.

The installation is easy, it only takes approximately one hour and we never have any problems.

We have done the implementation ourselves.

Ubuntu Linux is free.

If the organization does not have any Windows-dependent applications, I would recommend this solution.

I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

I have been using this solution for personal use and when I was in college to do some assignments. I typically install it on virtual machines.

I found using this solution pleasurable to learn since it is something different than Windows.

I have been using this solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

There is a large open-sourced community that is helpful. I had a lot of problems when starting out and there was plenty of assistance throughout the community. Since everyone is helping for free the support could be better. However, this is typical when you are dealing with open-sourced solutions.

The installation was very easy and it took approximately 30 minutes.

I did the implementation myself. I installed Ubunto Linux on virtual machines which not everyone knows how to do it. You need to have prior technical knowledge.

One of the main reason users use this solution is because it is free.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

We are using this solution for one of our projects where it requires an open-source toolchain for web application development.

The tools we are using for this project are compatible with this solution.

I have been using this solution for a couple of months.

The solution could be more stable.

We use and have previously used Windows 10 which is a lot better.

The installation does not take too much time to complete. It took approximately three hours.

We used help from an expert engineer to do the implementation. 

We do not like this solution and we are only using it because the project we are working on demands it. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux a five out of ten.
