Chapter 1. Introduction

  • If you choose to install the ubuntu-serverguide you can view this document from a console by:


    w3m /usr/share/ubuntu-serverguide/html/en_GB/index.html

Preparing to Install

  • The differences between the two editions are the lack of an X window environment in the Server Edition,
    the installation process, and different Kernel options.
  • To see all kernel configuration options you can look through /boot/config-2.6.24-server.
    Also, Linux Kernel in a Nutshell is a great resource on the options
    available.

Upgrading

  • Debian based systems can also be upgraded by using apt-get dist-upgrade. However, using
    do-release-upgrade is recommended because it has the ability to handle system configuration
    changes sometimes needed between releases.

Automatic Updates

  • Another useful package is apticron. apticron will configure a
    cron job to email an administrator information about any packages on the system that need updated as well
    as a summary of changes in each package.

  • Once the package is installed edit /etc/apticron/apticron.conf, to set the email address and other options:


    EMAIL="root@example.com"
