this is the personal blog of brandon quintana.

I recently blogged on “The Perfect Setup” for SuSE and Howto forge has another tutorial describing the perfect setup using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server (Dapper Drake). Since this is the Linux of choice for me, it’s a much better tutorial for me to follow when I create my server installations. I know many people like Ubuntu as well so this should help some. Most people that are doing installations like this already have a pretty good idea on what they are doing, but well written documentation to use as a guide never hurt.

The software installed is Apache 2.0 for the web server, MySQL 5.0 for the database server, Postfix for the mail server, BIND9 for the DNS server, proftpd for the FTP server, Courier for both POP3 and IMAP, and Webalizer for web statistics.

Overall Howto forge does a great job of providing tutorials for Linux users. It’s a good resource to keep in the bookmarks list. Hope this helps and let me know if there are any others I should add to the blog.
