Seriously, I'd be interested in seeing your source for Ubuntu being more used on servers then RHEL/Centos thats really not my experience at all. But then I have the opposite bias to you Dave :)<br>

(for those who don't know: Dave works for Cannonical the company behind Ubuntu, I work for Red Hat)<br>

I would certainly say that RHEL completely dominates the big "enterprise" (thousands of server) deployments , and (with Centos) a large majority of the smaller business (hundreds of server) deployments as well. So I would say if you're looking to become a professional linux sysadmin you're better off using Centos (or RHEL if you're willing to pay :) on the server and Fedora on the desktop and playing with ubuntu in a VM.<br>
