Start up with Ubuntu server!

Hi! Here's a short article of how to get going with Ubuntu server (9.10+, maybe works on older).

1. Download Ubuntu server http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-server

2. Install, you may burn it on a CD or create an startup-USB with http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

3. Install! It's easy, just boot and chose install.

4. Update everything! Write the following in terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Now you're up and running! However it's not that fun to have an empty server! It's easy to install stuff however. For example, install apache, php and mysql: write "tasksel install lamp-server" in terminal. And phpmyadmin, write "sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin". Don't forget ssh-server, so you can login remotely: "sudo apt-get install openssh-server".

Why use Ubuntu (or other linux based server)? Well it's free, it's stable, it's secure and it ain't that hard. All info you need can be found on the internet, and the quality of diffrent tutorials and guides or just being better and better! Give it a try!
