First question is, how old is the computer you're wanting to use as a server? What are the specs. It may be no problem to simply run Ubuntu Desktop on it and logout when you're not doing work on it.
If you're not familiar with CLI tools you want to use a lower power server you could try Xubuntu. It uses a lightweight GUI that works well with older computers. If you have >= 512M, Desktop should be fine. If you have < 512M of ram, I would use Xubuntu. If you have < 256M of ram, I would use Ubuntu Server. Anything less than 128M of ram is getting too low for your average Slimserver install. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42989 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
