It only seems to show its darkside when the installed Linux distribution is Ubuntu or Debian(APT based) as right now I am using Centos(RHEL) and all seems to be moving along well. I would love to be able to switch over to Ubuntu as I feel it is a better fit for this area. Hopefully this will come up in a search and someone will have the anwer! :) I also tried selecting a closer mirror, no luck.

One thing I like to make sure I do as far as updates in ubuntu goes is to make sure I am using a nearby mirror in my sources. I'm not sure how you are setup, but that may be part of the issue.

Specifically we are seeing that when we go to update(aptitude from the terminal) that the update process starts really fast but then is throttled down over and over again until it hits about 9bytes/sec. Yes bytes! I have taken the load balancer out of the equation and the cable modem, both have been replaced. I have also narrowed it down to only Linux updates from behind the Sonicwall. So I assume it is the way that Aptitude is requesting the downloads or the way that the Sonicwall is trying to push them out. Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

That coupled with my lack of familiarity swung me to Ubuntu. As I learn more about Ubuntu, I become more interested in other distributions and use a fair number of them for different purposes.

You are right - after I convinced others to get on board, it has been rather smooth sailing! Thank you for the comment.

Thank you for sharing. While I do not agree with Catholicism, many points you make are valid despite religous views. Those are interisting articles. Thank you for sharing.

Do you have a source for that? I would be interested in having that to show others that question if Linux is really viable. It is interesting that Microsoft would mention Ubuntu as competition.
