        Okay, we have to reboot to take effect. So we are going down for a minute, this should be fast. (Famous last words.)

            Sorry for the brief interlude there. But we got the update done quite painlessly.

              What's funny is that while there were very few posts going on during the upgrade, we actually did it during peak traffic. Probably not the ultimate in planning. It felt quiet but it really wasn't.

                Just wondering, what's the reason for using Ubuntu instead of a different distro?

                  I'm sure Scott would have used CentOS if he could. Probably what they built the platform on.

                    NodeBB is built on Ubuntu. There is a lot of benefit in a case like this in running on the exact same OS as the developers. They provide packages for other systems, but none of them are really tested. They are a small company. And we are the largest user of their software. So we don't want to be out front trying new things, the chances of us finding major breaks would be rather high.

                        Yes, if I had my druthers I'd be on CentOS or OpenSuse first. Ubuntu is okay, but far from my top choice(s).

                          Hey, we had a rocky day but at least we were not the only ones. It's been a busy day here, though, which is great. We had very solid posting all day.

                            Yes, I would say that it has been a pretty good day.
