“Ubuntu Server is, in my experience, one of the finest servers
on the Linux landscape. This server distribution can be used for
just about any server needs. But one thing to be warned about
– it is headless. With the Ubuntu server you can have just
about any server package you can think of, but don’t expect a
GUI to help you along. And due to its headless nature, it is faster
than a desktop-based counterpart. But what is it like to
install?“The first step is to insert the CD of Ubuntu Server (I am using
9.04) into the machine and boot. The first screen you will see is
the language screen (see Figure 1).“In the language section you just use the up and down keys to
migrate through the various languages available and, when you land
on the correct language, click the enter key.”
