[aklug] Re: Living in the cloud...

Ubuntu is the same as any other Linux distribution. Well, for most things.
 It's not Windows 2008 server. Neither are the Linux distributions you
mentioned.
A LAMP setup is a few commands on ubuntu. I'm sure it's the same on other
distributions. And in case you didn't know there is a server version.

512mb of ram is enough for a small web server. I had to tune apache down a
bit. I used apache jmeter and crashed apache with default settings. Good
times.

Anyway, all is well with my little server. Or will be as soon as I finish
moving everything over.

256 megs of ram is very very small for a server for all but the most trivial
tasks. Ubuntu is certainly not a server ready os either.

4 - 12 gigs with Windows 2k8 Server small business edition or Debian
stable/CentOS I would think would be much better.
