Installed ubuntu dapper drake desktop for the first time. Before this, I had only worked with RH based distros.
Installed Apache, MySQL and PHP also. It was a Breeze. Overall, only 1 word can describe the entire distro and setup. Sexy.
Had to run putty for an application (ssh and xterm messed up the function keys) so installed it over wine. Again, a breeze though with some errors. Which is ok. One tip: The font looks weird. So you will need to change it to anything else and it will look fine.
I had to install desktop version even though I am using it as a server because we dont have the luxury of a dedicated server only machine. My mandatory question is: Would it have been better to have installed the server version with ready LAMP stack and then enabled X?
thanks abhi
