Ubuntu has still to build a reputation in the server arena, I
personally have not seen a big installation relying on Ubuntu. Plenty
of Red Hat, SuSe, Debian and even CentOS.

I imagine the point of the server version is to eventually be
competitive on this arena, at the moment it seems that the server
version may not be ready for prime time. It took Red Hat ages to get
there, so it is unsurprising if Ubunut is experiencing initial
problems after a very successful desktop assault.
