does anyone know the "best" Ubuntu version to choose for a VPS host? i'm after stability and scalability. Slicehost offers Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty and Kramic. any ideas?

Karmic is the latest version of Ubuntu released at the moment. Usually you would go for that.

If you wanted a distribution that's going to be stable and supported for longer, you would go for a Long Term Support (LTS) release. The last LTS release was Hardy, but it's quite old now; the next LTS, Lucid, is coming out to replace it this month.

If it's a production system, stick with the LTS releases. The current is 8.04, but 10.04 will be out at the end of April.
