[edit] Install Ubuntu in a VM

These are the instructions to install Ubuntu to a VM, but the directions for installing to a physical machine are similar
  • Create VM - Create VM with 256MB RAM, 4GB HD, and using Ubuntu
  • Install Ubuntu from the Server ISO. Select install to hard drive.
  • sudo bash - gives you a bash shell with root privileges
  • apt-get dist-upgrade - optional step, upgrades the kernel and related items
  • apt-get upgrade - just to make sure you didn't miss anything
  • shutdown -r now - reboot to the new kernel (if a new one was available)
  • vi /root/.crontab
  • 00 00 * * * /usr/bin/apt-get update && /usr/bin/apt-get upgrade -y -add this line to root's cron job list to keep the OS up to date
