Ubuntu Linux System

I just downloaded the Ubuntu 9.04, a free Linux operating system distribution from Ubuntu. I installed the server version into my old machine purchased almost ten years ago. This machine has a Intel II 400Mhz CPU, 1Gb memory, and a 12Gb hard disk. I didn't installed the desktop system because it will be used mainly as a server. I hope it's sufficient to serve this site. Everything seems fine so far.
I have had positive feelings about this operating system. It made my life much more easier to install and configure my system. I especially like the 'sudo apt-get install ' command used to install packages available online. This is a big deal for me, who spent a lot of hours to install and configure my previous Solaris system on the same machine. I used to download the source codes such as Send Mail, Cryrus, etc. I would compile and configure them step by step according to their instructions. Those were very time-consuming operations. With 'sudo apt-get install ' from Ubuntu, I was able to installed all my packages online in minutes without any problems. Thank to people working on this and making this possible!
