I'm happy with 10.04 on my desktop so I'll stick with till one more release.

I have Debian 5.0 on my spare box that I am using as a subversion
server as well as a web server for my Ruby on Rails hosting and
testing environment. It's running on a AMD 1000 w/ 500MB of ram. It's
pretty much the same thing as the Ubuntu server, other than the
philosophy of what open source truly means.

So I got one foot in the Debian camp and other in the Ubuntu camp!
