Question; under where it says system information, 'it has system load', 'usage of :/' etc. With mine it doesn't say that any idea as to why? Might be something mine didn't install :@ although, I can't see what it was.

~Thanks

@homophobisexual Give it a couple of restarts and it should appear, when the system is under high load it won't compute that information. =)

I'm really interested in this and I might try it soon if I decide to buy a server.

Although there are a few things i'm not sure of...

1. I'm behind a linksys(not sure which model) and a bell speedstream 6520 how will a static ip work?

2. You aparently cannot get unlimited bandwidth in canada no matter what(i looked on google)...what would you reccommend?

Thanks for the great tutorial btw!

@cooldudepoke Hi cooldudepoke

1) You would do a port forward on your router to your Ubuntu server

2) I can't recommend anything because I live in the UK.

Thanks =)

Didn't really need to reboot. Could have done a 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' to get the static IP.
