Using the LTS version of Ubuntu is very highly reccomended.
It is vitally essential that you follow the procedures step-by-step !
Procedure 1: Install Ubuntu

If you use the above procedures to setup a production machine open to the Internet, then ensure the following.

- Change ALL instances of the default "dspace" username to another username, except for the main Ubuntu "dspace" account created during the server installation.
