I might be tempted to ditch FreeBSD and go ubuntu at this rate; having some x.org issues at the moment. I'm currently rebuilding it all to see if that'll fix it.
My FreeBSD box mainly acts as a server; currently used to handle email, run some screen sessions for a few things that I am logged into all the time, subversion (and thus a webserver). Plus mysql to handle databases (spam, mainly).
If I went to ubuntu, would I want server or desktop? Bear in mind I'm trying to move away from doing stuff on my Windows desktop. I can of course install the various packages I need onto either Ubuntu Desktop or Server, but are there any issues with either approach I should be aware of?
