At the time it was because I was more a user than a sysadmin and that using Ubuntu on my desktop (at that time) gave me a low entry barrier into the world of sysadmin, and an environment in which I could replicate my live servers.
Nowadays I run Linux Mint on my desktop and laptop, and all of the new servers for the new project are based on CentOS.
However, LFGSS is in maintenance mode until the new stuff is done, and as it needs to survive for perhaps another year I should get it onto the new version to ensure security updates, etc. With that in mind, going to Ubuntu Server 12.04 is pretty easy as all of the existing configuration can be moved over without needing to re-work it and spend too much time on it.
