There is no such thing as a perfect server, but this particular one is as close as you can get to being perfect. This tutorial will walk you through how to install the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server with all the services available typically that you get from ISPs and hosters.
It contains the installation of Apache web server (SSL-capable), Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server, Courier POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. It also installs the free web hosting control panel called ISPConfig2. Here’s the link to the tutorial.
I dare to say that Ubuntu 9.10 was more secure than 10.04!I come with an incredibly bug for the time-span of the upgrade to 10.04 (I kidded you not!). due to the of this trouble alone, I have to reinstall glass windows XP, then Ubuntu 8.04 to get almost everything back on track to reinstall 10.04.
