I am planning to rent a VPS service with following basic specification:   512mb of RAM 1 CPU 20gb HDD (4gb of it is swap) Ubuntu 10.10 server   I am able to choose between a 32 bit or 64 bit install of Ubuntu server as the operating system.   My question is would it be better to chose a 32 bit operating system since I will have only 512mb of RAM, rather than using a 64 bit operating system and dealing with the additional overheads?  edit:  I have installed Ubuntu server 10.10 32 bit and 64 bit on VirtualBox. After a minimalistic installation with only ssh server, the 32 bit installation consumes 63mb of RAM when first boot up and 64 bit consumes 85mb of RAM.  After installing and running  daemon, 32 bit consumes 99mb of RAM when first boot up and 64 bit consumes 128mb.

I've found several solutions to convert Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop to Server, with the following commands:  sudo apt-get install tasksel sudo tasksel remove ubuntu-desktop sudo tasksel install server apt-get install linux-server linux-image-server apt-get –purge remove lightdm   I just want to know if it is the same process with Ubuntu 14.04. The reason I need to do this is because I need to install moodle (some people may have other reasons to do this so I hope this helps them too) and it requires to run over Ubuntu Server rather than Desktop. Thanks

We are assembling some lightweight machines with the express purpose of displaying a single web page over a large screen. I need the machine to essentially boot up as lightweight and as quickly as possible and essentially have it run a browser (WebKit?) in full screen, loading one page which will be controlled dynamically by JavaScript. I'll be using an Intel D525 dual-core processor with integrated GPU, so I shouldn't need to set up any proprietary graphics drivers. Once I get one of these machines set up properly, I should just be able to dd the hard drive onto my computer and then dump it onto each new machine.  I have the following questions:   How can I create a "distribution" which includes only what I need? I suppose I'll need the kernel (;]), X, and a web browser of some sort, but not really too much else. Could I take something like Ubuntu Server and simply install X Server and find a way to have the machine automatically log in, start X, and start the web browser, no questions asked? Is there a book I can read or an article or something?  What can I use for a nice, stripped-down web browser that essentially runs a "chromeless Chromium?" These machines won't be accepting user input at all. If I need to manage them, I'll use SSH.

The server version of Ubuntu does not have the  command. How can I add a  (PPA) to the server without this command?

The latest version of Ubuntu server (18.04) seems to demand network configuration and refuse to boot without it. I have no desire to connect the server in question to the internet for anything, and have installed previous versions of Ubuntu server without network no questions asked.  Is a network connection an absolute requirement for the latest version of Ubuntu server? Or is there something I'm missing?  The installation cannot proceed past the network configuration page unless an ethernet connection is active, by my current estimates. I have no ethernet network within range of the machine so can't test it on an internet-less network. I only have WiFi within immediate range (which does have internet access) but it won't recognise the device and it should be simpler to get the installation to happen without any updates than to go to the effort of finding the drivers to support the WiFi adapter.  Note that this is NOT a duplicate of  since the new installer seems to be the real problem here.

Recently I installed Ubuntu 12.10 x64 Server Edition on my PC. Unfortunately, I attempted to install a lightweight desktop but due to the fact that I have an old graphics card, the PC does not perform so well. I am thinking of re-installing an Ubuntu version but I do not want to lose the contents in my home folder. Is there any way to do that with a Live CD?

I am looking to set up Ubuntu Server as a headless NAS for my home. I would like to have file storage there, as well as a central hub for my MP3s and pictures.  What are the best packages out there to handle this? Can someone post a link to a good tutorial or post some tips?  One constraint I have is that it has to be Windows 7 friendly. By that I mean the shares and streaming should work for a Windows machine.

I recently installed Ubuntu Server edition 13.10 (Saucy Salamander). But I have run into a bit of problem. At the end of the installation, it asks about several extra packages whether you want them or not, like OpenSSH server and virtual machine host. Here's what I'm looking at:  Now, my problem is that I can't remember if I have checked the &quot;virtual machine host&quot; checkbox. How do I check if my server has the corresponding packages? What packages come with the virtual machine host?
