Ubuntu Linux is a free and comprehensive desktop operating system that offers support from both professional and community sources.
For those looking for a complete desktop Linux operating system with both community and professional support, Ubuntu Linux is a great choice. And for those looking specifically for a server-oriented Linux, Ubuntu 5.10 Server is an excellent option.
Unlike the standard desktop version, Ubuntu 5.10 Server comes with server-oriented kernels that automatically support multiprocessor systems out of the box. Additionally, it includes a variety of popular server applications, including apache, mysql, postgresql, php, zope, openldap, bind, samba, all on the single CD and ready for installation.
The default installation for Ubuntu 5.10 Server is slim, taking up just 400 megabytes, allowing users to add only the software they need and maintain a clean configuration. It also provides no desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, etc.) by default, making it ideal for servers.
For those concerned about security, the default installation for Ubuntu 5.10 Server is designed to be secure, with no network ports active after installation and access to free security updates activated. Network services are only activated when explicitly installed.
Finally, Ubuntu 5.10 Server is supported with regular releases, a commitment to security updates for 18 months after each release, and professional technical support from many companies around the world. All in all, it's an excellent choice for those looking for a server-oriented Linux operating system.
