Ubuntu released version 2020 LTS (Focal Fossa) on April 23, 20.04, for which it will provide support until April 2025. It has even received an update since the release of 20.04, so currently 20.04.1 LTS is the latest version of this Ubuntu line. In this description, we will use version 20.04.1 to create the latest family member for the minimum servers. On this page we will walk you through the steps of the installer.

In this tutorial we will install a minimum Debian 10 (Buster) server, which consists of the Debian 10 base system and some basic configuration. This installation will be the basis for later LAMP and perfect server tutorials. On this page, we download the Debian 9 (Stretch) installation package and follow the steps of the installation program.

In this description, we will build the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) minimal server, which will be the building block of many more descriptions. Ubuntu has been providing support for members of the LTS (Long Term Support) family for five years, so we will receive updates for version 18.04 until April 2023. This provides an excellent basis for installing a server - which we want to run securely for many years to come. On this page, we will start with the installation steps, and then on the next page we will finish with some command line settings.

In this tutorial, we will install Guest Additions on the Debian system running VirtualBox, which will provide greater hardware compatibility with the operating system you are running.

In this tutorial we will install a minimal Debian 9 (Stretch) server, which will serve as a basis for future perfect server tutorials. On this page, we download the Debian 9 (Stretch) installation package, and during the installation, we configure the language and locale, configure the network, create the first user, configure disk partitions and the APT package manager. On the second page of the description, we will continue with the rest of the installation.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to set up a secondary name server for our domain names if you only have one IP address. We use ISPConfig in a server environment and use an external, free name server service.
