> For servers, I believe Ubuntu surpassed Debian in popularity recently

You're probably correct, but man is that a sign of our industry's immaturity. Debian is a stable and free platform on which to build a product. Ubuntu is a fine end-user distro, but it is neither as stable nor as free as Debian.

I am truly sad when OpenSUSE and SUSE isn't in the conversation about stability and popularity for servers. They have been rock solid give you the option of a rolling release and paid support if you want it.

What is unstable about it? I have used it in 3 fortune 500 companies in production and it was great.

Ubuntu has a fixed update schedule - for a business, "predictable" often beats "good"
