Today I reinstall my home webserver again according to some file corruption problems. My web development hobby is become more and more critical and need to fix the mess around before moving forward. Otherwise I will have stupid simple problems later on. Then I decided to write the instruction how I made it to share and remind myself. My structure is Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS on VMware ESXi 3.5 on Dell Optiplex SX280.

Last night I just imigrated my webserver from Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake to Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. It didn't so difficult to install into vmware like Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10. The installation for Ubuntu 8.04 is smooth as slik without any problem.  The imigration of webserver data is a bit difficult but finally, I have got main sites to published.

I found this clip in youtube about the 3D desktop features in Ubuntu 7. Unfortunately, I cannot use this feature under VMware. But I can see real stuff works on my friend's Labtop.

At the beginning, I'm totally have no idea about managing Linux server to run DHCP and DNS service. Do not dare to start learning how to configure all text files. I known about webmin long time ago, but I heard about the security issue, so I decided to do not use it for a long time, and I don't like to manage this stuff via web browser. Every click it has to reload the whole page, that takes time.

Time changes, think changes. The web site technology has been developed, better looking interface. I come back to have a look on webmin again, and wow... this is much better than I think. So, why not I should try it before I decide that it's not good. Otherwise, nobody will use it. And, I like it... hahaha.
