Here's the page for the server download: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server Although I'd suggest compiling your own couchdb, since the only one available from the repo is version 1.0.1. I'm sure there's a ppa somewhere for a more up-to-date version, but compiling on ubuntu it is fairly trivial. -- JC de Villa
