Ubuntu Desktop w/ Perl, Apache, an ssh

No, not as installed by default, but you can easily add those pakages using synaptic.

Makes good sense, I'll try it, thanks.

Thanks for your advice. I'm going to try the server edition in hopes of simplifying the process......

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the advice. I've downloaded the server package to a network
drive and have the iso file ready to go on. Turns out it exceeds the size
of my blank CD which is 700 MB.

My plan is to run the iso file on an older XP desktop connected to my
network; thus, installing the Ubuntu server. Can this be done or do I need
to install from a CD and a clean destination machine for the install to
work?

Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated.

    Status: Open => Answered

Steve Dodier proposed the following answer:
Yes, it does, you just have to install the packages apache2, openssh-
server, etc.

Though, why not use the server edition that allows you to install them
at the same time than the distrib ?

If you intend to setup a server for production, I recommand you use an actual computer, as the HDD I/O access speed will be slower if it is installed inside a Windows NTFS partition.

The iso seems to be 637 MB. There is no reason for it not to fit on your CD. Though, there also are an alternate and a minimal CD, but if you use these you might have to manually install apache after (while the option is proposed at distro install with the server CD). Don't worry though, it's not hard.

Hey Steve,

I downloaded the following server version: ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386

Advertised as 698 MB or 732,766,208 bytes, but it errors-out as soon as I
begin the copy w/ a message indicating there isn't enough room on the disk
but nothing else there.

Can I run the iso file w/ XP, or must I format the HD before running the
iso file?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Walter,

If you have an USB key around that is big enough, you can try this way : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick

Also, you can install with the minimal CD located here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD and then manually install the needed packages, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP

Also, you can install viaWindows, but it's harder. Everything described here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows

As you're going to use your Ubuntu as a server, I recommand you to install it on a proper ext3 partition (you need unpartitioned free space on your HDD, if you don't have any, you'll have to delete one partition in order to have room. Use Ubuntu's installer in order to make the partitions, it's much cleaner than Windows's one - note that if really you can't afford to reformat any HDD, you can run the install via Wubi, see after).

I don't recommand you to install it directly from Windows with the "Wubi" installer. It will install Ubuntu inside a virtual disk image inside your Windows partition, which is slower, and thus will not let you use your server at the best of its capabilities (actually, it'll just be a little longer to boot, which doesn't really matter for a server, and it'll be just a little slower to read/write, nothing dramatical :P, but perfectionism is a virtue when running a server).

If you still wanna go for Wubi, just mount your ISO file with Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% inside of Windows, and then it'll offer you to install Ubuntu.

Hope this helps.

Steve,

I'm pretty dense having never done this sort of thing before. Can I call
you and ask a few questions?

All I have is a clean PC that boots to the C:\ prompt, and the ISO server
image on a network drive.

Thanks

Hi Erik,

I downloaded the server version and copied the ISO image to a CD.

I have a clean pc (what was an XP machine), but now formatted which boots
to the C:\ prompt. Presumably I can change the BIOS to boot from the
CD-ROM, load the CD, and restart to begin the install. Does that sound
right?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Steve,

When I attempt to boot from the CD-ROM I get the following error message:

This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected and i686 CPU.
Unable to boot please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.

I'm trying to install from the ubuntu-9.04-server-amd64.iso file which I
downloaded, to a Dell GX-270 OPtiplex pc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It is telling you that the system it found is not 64 bits. Are you
positive it is?

If you are not on a 64 bit system you should use the
ubuntu-9.04-server-i386.iso
