Linux a doubt about ubuntu vs debian

[Vrotz]

I'm used to compile my server on Ubuntu 10.04. But the company I'm renting the machine works only with 12.04. The commands are the same and there would be some kind of problem? i'm using R2 by MartyX (0.3.7)

12.04 is not that "good" as others but hosting something on ubuntu is just for me out of the talk. If I would host something I would either go with CentOS or Debian. As this forum has 0 compatablity with CentOS your best bet would be going with Debian 6 it is pretty much "backend" if Ubuntu as for Ubuntu is based on Debian.

So fireup debian and you won't be sorry also it should be a bit better since it does not have all the clutter Ubuntu puts on. Ubuntu is more for "desktop" use

But Debian isn't hard to handle? I'm new. The commands are the same?

I've this system for install:
Debian 6 - LAMP
Debian 6 - LAMP RAID1
Debian 6 - Plesk 11
Debian 6 - Plesk 11 RAID1
Debian 6 - minimal
Debian 6 - minimal RAID1

What's is better?

Debian 6 - LAMP < Installs Linux, Apache , MySQL and PHP which you don't really need because using auto install you will get needed [NOT NEEDED]
Debian 6 - LAMP RAID1 < Same as above with RAID1 SUPPORT (READ MORE up on Wikipedia) [NOT NEEDED]
Debian 6 - Plesk 11 < Install web control panel PLESK 11 [NOT NEEDED]
Debian 6 - Plesk 11 RAID1 < Same as above with RAID1 SUPPORT [NOT NEEDED]
Debian 6 - minimal < Should be what you need if you don't want RAID1
Debian 6 - minimal RAID1 < Should be what you need if you want RAID1

Based on everything going with Minimal should grant you the best performance if you use auto installer provided in tutorial section.

Yes comands are the same ^^

If minimal is not what you need or want you can try LAMP Other then that I setuped everything on my host in no time.

However not come to a conclusion.
Which do you recommend me from experience?

There are problems in using 64bit with 4gb of ram? The company doesn't work with 32bit (dont ask me why)

There should not be any problems I have used minimal and LAMP 64 bit because 86 just does not work Also anything above 3 gb of ram you should use 64 bit

I'd say it doesn't really matter.. If i'm not mistaken Ununtu is based on Debian
