Wait for the newest version of ubuntu server which will install all those features, for admin id use webmin. My advice for security would be make sure you setup a firewall and also make sure you have all the permissions on files shared on the web server set to the usual. Regards, daniel

I always get the upper/lower case B's confused)) and have considered turning the machine solely over to this after getting my nice shiny new dell laptop. If I turned it to this permanantly (as I hope to!) I'd obviously need a bit more info on setting it up re:security and suggested programs (I'd end up largley running Apache/PHP/mod_mono as I'm considering going into web design and it'd be good practice to get used to as many languages as possible). I'd also be considering using it as a mailserver, but have never set one of these up, ever. So any advice on mail packages and the like would also be much appreciated!! The box itself is a 4GHz Hyperthreaded P4 with 1.5gb of RAM and 2*250gb hdd's (it also currently has 2 flatscreens, but it won't need them once it's been serverised!) Thanks very much (as usual) for any info! -Matt Daubney -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
