That is well and good ... but current versions of ubuntu are not really
enterprise level.  That is said to be changing with the ubuntu server
releases.

Enterprise level means you don't have to upgrade to a new version every
6 months .... and you can expect security updates for 5-7 years.

ubuntu is a good product for what it does (as is debian stable or gentoo
for that matter) ... but it is not an RPM based Enterprise solution ...
like RHEL or a free one like CentOS/WBEL/Tao/Scientific.
