Hello, Andy. I run Ubuntu 'server' by installing from the 'desktop' CD, followed by: aptitude install ubuntu-server The only real difference is the kernel you run and if you want LAMP. There is a list of the 'server' packages that will still be supported: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/dapper/supported.txt Bye, Tony. -- Dr. A.J.Travis, University of Aberdeen, Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health, Greenburn Road, Bucksburn, Aberdeen AB21 9SB, Scotland, UK tel +44(0)1224 712751, fax +44(0)1224 716687, http://www.rowett.ac.uk mailto:a.tra...@abdn.ac.uk, http://bioinformatics.rri.sari.ac.uk/~ajt -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
