Product Details
Download to Disc items, unlike others in the catalog, are
simply downloaded and put on a disc for you. They are in our
catalog because someone has already requested it. If there is something
you don't see and can't find using the search function on the left you
can still order
it here and we will download and burn it to a disc
for you.
These are not the official full color printed disc
for this product. Instead it will simply have the product name printed
on the disc. You can get a full color print for a download to disc
product for an additional fee here.

Ubuntu Server Edition
Supports x86, AMD64 and UltraSPARC T1 architectures.
The Server Edition - built on the solid foundation of Debian which
is known for its robust server installations — has a strong heritage
for reliable performance and predictable evolution.
Integrated and secure platform
As your business grows, so does your network. More
applications need to be deployed and more servers are required. Ubuntu
Server Edition offers support for several common configurations, and
simplifies common Linux server deployment processes. It provides a
well-integrated platform enabling you to quickly and easily deploy a
new server with any of the standard internet services: mail, web, DNS,
file serving or database management.
A key lesson from its Debian heritage is that of security by
default. The Ubuntu Server has no open ports after the installation and
contains only the essential software needed to build a secure server.
Lower Total cost of ownership with automatic LAMP
installation
In around 15 minutes, the time it takes to install Ubuntu Server
Edition, you can have a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) server up
and ready to go. This feature, exclusive to Ubuntu Server Edition, is
available at the time of installation.
The LAMP option means you don't have to install and integrate each
of the four separate LAMP components, a process which can take hours
and requires someone who is skilled in the installation and
configuration of the individual applications. Instead, you get
increased security, reduced time-to-install, and reduced risk of
misconfiguration, all of which results in a lower cost of ownership.
Eliminate the cost of updating individual workstations
Ubuntu Server edition includes thin client support using LTSP (Linux
Terminal Server Project). LTSP-5, the latest release, offers a simple
installation and easy maintenance. All the data is stored on the
server, which will substantially diminish the cost of updating
individual workstations and help to ensure their security. Notable
benefits of Ubuntu's thin client support are:
- Simplified management: manage all clients from one system.
Install
new software, change their configuration, or even upgrade to a new
version on the server, and all clients are instantly up to date. There
is only one backup to take for all clients.
- Fully automatic installation and setup: installing a thin client
server is as easy as installing a single desktop system, and once it's
finished, new clients can be added with no additional administration on
the server
- Lower TCO through shared resources: Common high-powered desktop
workstations sit idle most of the day consuming power and costing your
organization money. With a high-powered server and low-cost thin
clients, you can get great performance and save money. Need higher
performance? Just upgrade the server, and all clients instantly benefit.
- Quick failure recovery: If a client system fails, simply swap in
a
new one and continue working. No configuration is required, and all of
the user's data and settings are intact.
- Locally attached devices: Users can access printers, cameras,
iPods, USB sticks and other devices connected directly to the thin
client.
