Just a note regarding Ubuntu version:

I think the only sensible option to Lenny is Ubuntu Hardy (LTS). This
has support (server version) until April 2013 - that's why Hardy is my
server OS of choice. So if there's an initiative to maintain Ubuntu
version (diff would be enough) it should be for Hardy.
