Ubuntu Boot Camp 2013
The Freedom Is Yours!!

Basic Server Installation

Tanzania is not shown in the list, so we select other, and choose
Africa, then we select Tanzania. The same principal about updates
and correct location that we discussed on the desktop side also
applies for the server


Host Name: Based on the naming protocol in your organization. For
example we name our servers such as Top Gun or it could be location
related..Costech1


Admin Account..same principal as on the desktop side as the Root
account is disabled by default, this account will allow you to assume
sudo privileges.
Create a user, for example the user Administrator with the user name
administrator (don't use the user name admin as it is a reserved name
on Ubuntu 12.04):


Create a user, for example the user Administrator with the user name
administrator (don't use the user name admin as it is a reserved name
on Ubuntu 12.04):


For this example we don't need to have an encrypted private
directory, so choose No.


Now you have to partition your hard disk. For this exercise select
Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM - this will create one volume
group with two logical volumes, one for the / file system and another
one for swap (of course, the partitioning is totally up to you - if you
know what you're doing, you can also set up your partitions manually).

Partitioning Overview

Once a disk is partitioned, an OS must have some way to access the data on the
partitions. In DOS and Windows, this is done by assigning a drive letter, such as C: or D:,
to each partition. (DOS and Windows use partition type codes to decide which partitions get
drive letters and which to ignore.)
Linux, though, doesn’t use drive letters; instead, Linux uses a unified directory tree. Each
partition is mounted at a mount point in that tree. A mount point is a directory that’s used as
a way to access the filesystem on the partition, and mounting the filesystem is the process
of linking the filesystem to the mount point.
For instance, suppose that a Linux system has three partitions: the root (/) partition,
/home, and /usr. The root partition holds the basic system files, and all other partitions are
accessed via directories on that filesystem.
If /home contains users’ home directories, such as sally and sam, those directories will be
accessible as /home/sally and /home/sam once this partition is mounted at /home. If this
partition were unmounted and remounted at /users, the same directories would become
accessible as /users/sally and /users/sam.

Partitioning Overview


After the reboot, you can login with your previously created username
(eg.Administrator) Because we must be root for the rest of this process,
either we start each command with sudo
or we can become root now by typing: sudo su
Or you may activate your root account by creating the password....
sudo passwd root

Install a text editor for our work. I prefer to use Nano.
sudo apt-get install nano
