Instead of using the server version of Ubuntu, here you can find out which packages to install in order to run a server from a desktop Ubuntu machine. Quite easy to understand, and it's been a lot of help to me.

    Ok so for a long time I had my dual boot working great, windows and ubuntu. But 2 days ago my
    windows required a wipe and clean install because of some issues, like it usually happens after 8
    months. So I reinstalled windows, well, first deleted the windows partition using the windows XP
    install CD. Then assigned a partition for windows (same size) and left the ubuntu and swap partition

    Mac OS X 1.0.5 Leopard on the schools network. I installed UBUNTU on my laptop using the LiveCD.

  16. With Wubi The Hard Drive Does Not Have To Be Repartitioned Before The Ubuntu Installation
    (2)
    Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that lets you install and uninstall Ubuntu from a Windows
    desktop. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is
    installed within a file in the Windows file system (a loopmounted partition), this file is seen by
    Ubuntu as a real hard disk. That way the hard drive does not have to be repartitioned before the
    Ubuntu installation. The resulting Ubuntu installation is a "real" Linux system, not just a virtual
    machine. Wubi makes it easy for Linux newbies to play around with Ubuntu. http://wubi-i....

    but I usually go through phases where I use it more or less. Regardless I have used multiple distros
    (a bit of gentoo and slack, redhat, suse, madrake, mandiva, fedora, mepis, ubuntu, etc) and had used
    ubuntu 6.06 for awhile. I had actually installed 6.10 around the end of last year but over time I

  20. Ubuntu Won't Log On
    Something like damaged explorer.exe... (12)
    Recently, Ubuntu has stopped working by not allowing me to access the desktop. It is quite strange.
    Once Ubuntu has booted up to the username screen, I type in my username and password to log on. It
    brings me to a blank screen with nothing on it. This happens to all of the user accounts. When I
    press the Power button on my computer, I see the loading process where it says: Executing login
    scripts... and then some network stuff when it freezes. I have no clue what to do here because
    I've only worked with the GNOME desktop in Ubuntu and only 2 times when modifying....

    On the first day of this month Cononical released the latest iteration of their linux distribution,

    linux distribution that is useable by the masses. Originally intended to be released in April (I
    believe) it was delayed to polish up a few things and I think it was well spent. I have seen
