Installation

• You now have the option to install, or not install, several package tasks. See Section 3.1, “Package
Tasks” [p. 9] for details. Also, there is an option to launch aptitude to choose specific packages to
install. For more information see Section 4, “Aptitude” [p. 32].
• Finally, the last step before rebooting is to set the clock to UTC.

If at any point during installation you are not satisfied by the default setting, use the "Go Back"
function at any prompt to be brought to a detailed installation menu that will allow you to modify the
default settings.

At some point during the installation process you may want to read the help screen provided by the
installation system. To do this, press F1.

Once again, for detailed instructions see the Ubuntu Installation Guide9.

3.1. Package Tasks

During the Server Edition installation you have the option of installing additional packages. The packages are
grouped by the type of service they provide.
• DNS server: Selects the BIND DNS server and its documentation.
• LAMP server: Selects a ready-made Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP server.
• Mail server: This task selects a variety of packages useful for a general purpose mail server system.
• OpenSSH server: Selects packages needed for an OpenSSH server.
• PostgreSQL database: This task selects client and server packages for the PostgreSQL database.
• Print server: This task sets up your system to be a print server.
• Samba File server: This task sets up your system to be a Samba file server, which is especially suitable in
networks with both Windows and Linux systems.
• Tomcat Java server: Installs Apache Tomcat and needed dependencies.
• Virtual Machine host: Includes packages needed to run KVM virtual machines.
• Manually select packages: Executes aptitude allowing you to individually select packages.

Installing the package groups is accomplished using the tasksel utility. One of the important differences
between Ubuntu (or Debian) and other GNU/Linux distribution is that, when installed, a package is also
configured to reasonable defaults, eventually prompting you for additional required information. Likewise,
when installing a task, the packages are not only installed, but also configured to provided a fully integrated
service.

Once the installation process has finished you can view a list of available tasks by entering the following from
a terminal prompt:

tasksel --list-tasks
