We use the LTS versions of Ubuntu for our servers. For more information about the Ubuntu LTS server go to:

http://www.ubuntu.sun.ac.za/wiki/index.php/Enterprise_Server_Management

The server installation CD can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.sun.ac.za/iso-images/ubuntulinux/10.04/ubuntu-10.04.4-server-amd64.iso

Burn the above ISO image to a blank CD. Do not copy it as data, it MUST be burned as an ISO image !

If you have problems burning your own CD, then please ask your IT support people to help you.

At the moment we use a DELL R710 server. With the following specifications:

The following partition scheme is reccomended.

/	ROOT partition, where all the system software is installed	10GB Minimum - 20GB preferred
n/a	SWAP partition	2x installed RAM
/var	VAR partition, where all the log files and database files are installed	10GB Minimum - 20GB preferred. This depends on how big your database index files get.
/home	HOME partition, where all the DSpace software files and bitstreams are stored	All the rest of the total disk capacity.

Proceed to the next step
