Ubuntu 9.04 as the basic installation method for home servers

Features of the server

Facilitates data backup and sharing, providing a faster Java development environment

Basic hardware environment

Seven Rainbow G41 motherboard, Intel E5200 2.5G dual-core processor, 4G memory (2x2g), 500G SATA hard drive.

Basic software

Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop AMD64.

The use of 64bit system can play a good role in 4G memory, after all, now cheap memory.

1, determine the zoning strategy. 500G hard drive, root partition/50g,/home 50G,/opt 200g/upload 100G. Linux system partitions can be 50G sufficient, smaller system partitions can achieve faster speed, and facilitate the reinstallation of the system.

2, the installation process is very smooth, just in search of the mirror site, very time-consuming, it is best to unplug the network cable, you can speed up the installation speed, probably occurred in about 84%, or not the network installation effect better. After the installation of the system, you need to select the source to update, the domestic good Ubuntu mirror is mirror.lupaworld.com.

3, the operation of Automatic Updates, the system to upgrade. It takes about 30 minutes. The manual DNS server is 218.6.200.139 61.139.2.69.

4, configure a fixed IP address and login window, easy to remote access.

5, install VSFTPD and Openssh-server package.

6, install build-essential software package.

7, install VMware Server 2.0.0, directly to the company's website download, free.

8, the production of USB installation disk, so you can remove the optical drive, and then directly installed with a USB flash. My BenQ Silver Moonlight Optical drive is too old to always report 3 ata1.01:exception emask 0x0 sact ststus {Drdy} when the 64-bit system is started.

9, the installation of Chinese support.

Run effect

1, the above basic hardware platform and Ubuntu AMD64 running quickly, the system load is very light.

2, the basic software system to be simple, Ubuntu 9.04 built-in JDK is GNU, not sun, preferably not mixed use. 64bit of application software and drivers are not many, preferably with the system itself. Software development and system testing is best to run in the virtual machine, there is no phenomenon under Windows Ghost Tools, reloading system will be relatively time-consuming (in fact, the main is to run Automatic update comparison cost time). The hardware system is very noisy, preferably through remote access, which is why I bought the wireless network card. Ubuntu's desktop gorgeous, XDMCP way to access the server, a bit delayed, the effect is not particularly good, but remote access installed in the virtual machine Win32 system is very fast.

3, based on the current configuration, because the main use of remote access to virtual machines, not very good play graphics game function.

4, in order to better configure VMware Server 2.0, it is best to directly choose to use Wlan0 as a bridge network.
