Server Installed

Installed the server! I always hate the disk partitioning part. It never seems intuitive to me what to do. I selected the LAMP, OpenSSH, PostgreSQL, print and Samba servers to be installed. The first order of business after the install was to set a static ip address. This was done by editing the file /etc/network/interfaces and changing the following line from

iface eth0 inet dhcp

to

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.30
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

After, reboot with a

sudo reboot

Now I can do all my work by ssh. Next, Samba setup.
