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

The server version differs from the desktop only in the installed app set, nothing more. So either way would get you the same results.
Look at the ubuntu site for information on what you would get if you start at each point.

dont think there is a difference. btw, how did partitioning go? when i tried, although i set a separate partition for /home, ubuntu ignored it and i had to redo it allowing the default partitioning

Partitioning was a little bit confusing even though only for a moment. Anyways I had all the data on a fat32 partition from the windows machine. The remaining 2 ntfs paritions were deleted. And 4 new partitions created which were alloted to home, root, boot, swap. Had I created 6 partitions instead of 4 from the above free space, it would have created partitions for usr and var too.
So I believe first you make the partitions and then allot it in the next step.
Ofcourse though it detected by fat32 partition it was not able to mount it itself. Meaning, simply clicking on it did not work. So I had to mount it using mount -t vfat /hda5 /home/user/win_e
