Introduction

In an effort to better understand, support and further the Ubuntu Server Edition we would like to ask you to take this short poll.

The information provided will help us determine where we can improve support, where to add additional resources and to generate a better understanding of the community which we work within.

Please note that this survey is being conducted by the Ubuntu Server Team in conjunction with the Canonical Server Product Management Team. Information about the Server Team is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/

Discussion

Global Comments

  • Survey "feels" long, that is, it feels like it takes forever to get to the end.
  • There seems to be a regular "No answer" option, this is not really useful for getting stats. I would advocate removing that option where it occurs throughout the survey. --> this is what mark a question "non mandatory" - nijaba

  • The sub-text: "Check any that apply" should probably be "Check all that apply" --> All that apply is used when question is mandatory and user is supposed to at least check one. - nijaba

Specific Questions

Suggestions for simplifications

  • int-servers: remove Solaris, MacOSX, Win2003 and change Win 2000 -> Win2000 or above

  • int-win-client: remove Solaris, WindowsXP
  • all-serv: remove Solaris, MVS, VMS, BSD and add a UNIX choice
