Ubuntu Linux System

I just downloaded the Ubuntu 9.04, a free Linux operating system distribution from Ubuntu.  I installed the server version into my old machine purchased almost ten years ago.  This machine has a Intel II 400Mhz CPU, 1Gb memory, and a 12Gb hard disk.  I didn't installed the desktop system because it will be used mainly as a server.  I hope it's sufficient to serve this site.  Everything seems fine so far. 

I have had positive feelings about this operating system.  It made my life much more easier to install and configure my system.  I especially like the 'sudo apt-get install ' command used to install packages available online.  This is a big deal for me, who spent a lot of hours to install and configure my previous Solaris system on the same machine.  I used to download the source codes such as Send Mail, Cryrus, etc. I would compile and configure them step by step according to their instructions.  Those were very time-consuming operations. With 'sudo apt-get install ' from Ubuntu, I was able to installed all my packages online in minutes without any problems.  Thank to people working on this and making this possible!
