I have never even used a live cd. Never even SEEN a linux not used!!!
Today I'm placing my order so I really need your help..Still wonding about the OS.
Now its this..
Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop free
OR
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop (BETA) free
It's because 8.04 is a BETA..will it be OK. I think now 8.04 is out of beta version so will I be able to update it?
Please, one last time..

Iam in the exact same situation @midnightalker^^
I would really appreciate some tips/hints whatever...
Ubuntu Desktop or Server, and which version?
Thx in advance
Ubuntu Server only comes with a SSH server. Nothing more.
The Desktop edition also includes a VNC clone.
Since you're German, I'm guessing that you're going to rent an OVH server directly, so choose the one you want and if you're unhappy with it, the OVH manager will allow you to reinstall the server with the other version.
Im using Win 2003 Web Ed.
Its Ok for the basics... but dont think u r going to have increased security.
If u r a security freak ... go Debian.

I have a OVH seedbox now, first i had "Ubuntu Desktop" but than i changed to "Ubuntu Server" -> Should be a lil bit better and more stable but also harder to handle ;-)
If you are new to Linux I heard that Ubuntu is great for new Linux Users.

I have ubuntu server for some time now and can just recommend it :-)
Its also perfectly fits to this guide/tutorial, so if you're new into linux/seedboxes and wanna be a webseeder, you just need the following:
1. 24,99 €/$ for OVH-kimsufi-rootserver
2. Choose Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server 32bits as OS
3. naq's Complete Setup Guide... here on FST ;-)
4. seed seed seed
I wish i could pay 24.99 euros for the kimsufiOriginally Posted by kid16k
