However, once the server was up and running, I had an easier time getting things to work on Ubuntu without a lot of hard stops to go look things up on the Internet. Its installation still isn’t the best I thought that CentOS pretty much crushed Ubuntu on that. As to the exact distribution, I went through a few of them before settling on Ubuntu. Since I’ve never called or paid any of these companies, I guess I just took a leap of faith on the one that I chose (that would be Canonical). That way, presumably, if you get really backed into a corner, you can get some paid assistance. So, why Ubuntu specifically? Well, I wanted a major distribution backed by a commercial operation. While I think that Red Hat still wins in the “polish” department, I found that Canonical had really nailed a lot of things in the ease-of-use and approachability departments with Ubuntu Desktop.
Over the last few years, I’ve switched over to Ubuntu. Traditionally, I’ve been a Red Hat person, but things got strange when Red Hat splintered out into RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora, and I started looking at my options. I’ve been using it off and on ever since I learned about it, but not enough to reach true proficiency. I’m not a Linux expert by any stretch of the imagination.

No edition of Linux consumes a virtualization right from Microsoft. There are paid services from Canonical that you might be interested in, but Microsoft isn’t asking for anything. Oh, and if you’re curious if you need to purchase anything from Microsoft in order to run Ubuntu under Hyper-V, the answer is: no. There isn’t any time wasted fiddling with scouring the Internet to look for instructions on compiling or even scripting them in. For distributions that are less than a few years old, the Hyper-V Integration Components are built right in. One of the nicest parts about it is the “It Just Works” aspect. Linux on Hyper-V is becoming more and more popular as Microsoft continues to increase their support for it.
