    Default Debian Support and Ubuntu Server LTS Support

    I really wish that cPanel had Debian support! I and many other people much prefer apt instead of yum. Almost all of the other paid control panels support Debian...

    When we are ready to begin supporting additional operating systems, we will focus on server OSes with long term support. For example, we may not consider supporting the desktop edition of Ubuntu, but we may consider supporting Ubuntu Server LTS (LTS = with Long-Term Support).

    mike1s, at this point would supporting Ubuntu Server LTS be more of what you are looking for, or should I fork this thread for Debian in one thread and Ubuntu Server LTS in another thread?

    TBH, either would be great since once one's supported they both are.

    Ubuntu and Debian are virtually the same OS

    I have updated the title of this thread to reflect that this discussion encompasses Ubuntu Server LTS (a Debian-based distribution) as well as Debian.

    We'd love to see Ubuntu 10.04 LTS supported here.

    It's shaping up to be an awesome release, and with the ability to also offer cPanel on it... goodness!!

    Just a head's up that this is going to be a long-term project when it does get started. It is unlikely that cPanel/WHM will be fully designed for and compatible with Debian environments before the end of this month.

    I would absolutely love to see cPanel work on Ubuntu itself. I've always had issues with CentOS 3-5. Its always something with it. Takes forever to boot, and does nothing interesting at all. Ubuntu is a whole different story. I enjoy using Ubuntu itself and I would do anything to get cPanel working on a Ubuntu system.

    By Ubuntu, are you referring to the desktop variant or Ubuntu Server LTS? I assume since you are using cPanel/WHM, you are running a commercial hosting operations and thus would want to use Ubuntu Server LTS to minimize downtime caused by significant OS upgrades, but I could be mistaken.

    I'd like to throw my name into the hat to try the beta for this if it is ever created. I have a few Ubuntu Servers (LTS versions) on VPS type hosting plans, as well as a shared hosting arrangement for Ubuntu Server that we're trying to get off the ground.
