Could someone point me to a good setup/tutorial/walk through of setting upsome flavor of Ubuntu server? I would like to learn HTML5 and play withApache by building web sites for my use.
net.tutsplus.com/.../how-to-setup-a-dedicated-web-server-for-fr\ee/My personal preference is to begin with Ubuntu Desktop, since performance won'tbe an issue on a web site you are just testing. Many things are a lot easier ifyou have a local GUI. The only thing it adds is memory usage, so you probablywant more than 512 MB.
this may sound strange to some but to install a web server all I do isinstall phpmyadmin. All dependencies are installed and that means awebserver minus pear.
