Install a Ubuntu home server on an old computer, ISO's available from http://http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
Select Server LTS and download it. If you need any help contact me.

It's been a while since I used youtube extensively in the past, check out this video:

It's a new tutorial I have made on using photo shop for "real life paper doctoring" it's quite an interesting thing!

  • usually you manage the server over ssh or web based with webmin, but if you need a real GUI just install one of the desktop packages from command line:

    ubuntu-desktop for gnome

    kubuntu-desktop for kde

    xubuntu-desktop for xfce

  • is the server free too?

see all

  • u almost blew my ears off when the machine booted up :)

  • Turnkey linux. Ubuntu that is prepared to instantly be used as any kind of server you could ask for. Google Turnkey Linux

  • I installed ubuntu server on vmware player and i didnt get the same option as you. HELP

  • great information, will follow your step in setting up. thanks,

  • @tjrieves this guy hilarious!

  • @muhammad517 After that, do something awesome like run a minecraft server or host a web site or an ftp site!

  • @tjrieves And Mint is even more "prettified" Linux. Don't you know that Mint is Ubuntu with a few non-free packages installed? You're still using Ubuntu.

  • @dmntr "but if you need a real GUI you should stop everything because you fail."

    FIX'D

  • @tjrieves That that happend to you doesn't mean Ubuntu is a bad OS... :P I have it running perfectly fine on my laptop. Could be that some hardware or something isn't supporting, but that has more to do with manufacturers not supporting Linux than with the OS it self.

  • @muhammad517 Yes, Ubuntu Server comes only with a command line interface by default. You can find some tutorials to learn how to work with it, but you can also install a graphical user interface. Obviously, this will take up some extra RAM and stuff, but you can do it with this command:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

    This will instal the GNOME Desktop environment for you. :)
