A better question, in my mind, is why they&#x27;d choose Ubuntu over CentOS or RHEL, since they&#x27;re running on Dell hardware, and Kickstart is far, far superior to Debian&#x2F;Ubuntu&#x27;s PXE install (and preseeding is awful to configure).  My org went through a lot of pain because of this choice (which preceded me) and I&#x27;d hate for anyone to go through what I went through.<p>Also Dell&#x27;s maintenance tooling barely works on Ubuntu at all; they don&#x27;t even officially support their OpenManage stack on it.  And forget about online firmware upgrades.
