RE: [BLUG] Ubuntu Question

Jeremy & Mark,

24 hours later and it everything has worked like a charm. Ubuntu gets a few
minus marks for their documentation but they have Red Hat beat on package
update integration. For what it is worth, installing the LAMP version first
and the adding the desktop seemed to be the easier choice (but somehow I
ended up with the edubuntu gnome instead of the default).

Thanks for the help guys,

Dan

| If there are some server-like features that you want during
|installation on your desktop machine, like LVM partitioning, then you
|should try the alternate CD. To get the alternate CD from ubuntu.com,
|you have to check a box down below the "Start Download" button.
|
| But Jeremy is right, if you install the desktop version, you could add
