[Freeswitch-users] Debian or Ubuntu

[Andrew Cassidy]

Equally, I just prefer Debian. I don't like the Ubuntu way, I like having a
system which I can easily understand the inner workings. To that extent
I've probably just used Debian more than Ubuntu.

Servers I use Debian Stable
Desktops I use Linux Mint Debian Edition

Before I used Debian I used Gentoo for many years. But once I entered the
real world I no longer had the time to keep a system updated and moved to
Debian which was the most used distro among my friends.

The rule of thumb is:

Use what you're comfortable with. Failing that, use what your friends/peers
are comfortable with. At least then you can get support easily.
