Just a running memo for myself, as I struggle to set up my ubuntu server…

• Crap. Server edition doesn’t have any GUI. I guess that is why it is called server edition. Doing install over with Desktop Edition.
• I just need SSH, LAMP environment and Samba. Mythbuntu has those already, but Ubuntu Desktop doesn’t seem to have quick option…. I know it is easy, but I am still a little intimidated by command line apt-get…
• Looks like there is a easy way… Tried sudo tasksel to no avail, but from Synaptic (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager), you can go Edit > “Mark Packages by Task” gives me the same list. Awesome. Exactly what I wanted! Love it.
• To add Japanese, System > Administration > Language Support. Click on Japanese. Also, check enable support to enter complex characters. Is that it?
• Need to set the IP to something like 192.168.1.XX or whatever from DHCP. System > Administration > Network, then edit it in “Connections” area, Properties. After done, run $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart from terminal. This link helps.

To do:

• Setting up SMB server to work properly with password.
• Need to use with the dyndns service. Is there a quick way?
