<div>Last time I installed Ubuntu server, the default install was no GUI. Instead, I installed the "desktop" version of 10.04 and added what I needed with aptitude.<br>
<br>
Its running LAMP + Samba in a production environment.<br>

Ok, I'm downloading Ubuntu Server, and I'll bring it over tomorrow to<br>
try. (My pipe is bigger than yours. ;-)<br>
<br>
And, it's free (without support contract). I'll look for the Landscape<br>
thingy when I get it.<br>
