In this chapter, we covered the installation process in great detail. As with most Linux distributions, Ubuntu Server is scalable and able to be installed on a variety of server types. Physical servers, virtual machines, and even the Raspberry Pi, have a version of Ubuntu Server available. The process of installation was covered step by step, and you should now have an Ubuntu Server of your own to configure as you wish. Also in this chapter, we covered partitioning, creating boot media, determining the role of your server, as well as some best practices.
In the next chapter, I'll show you how to manage users. You'll be able to create them, delete them, change them, and even manage password expiration and more. I'll also cover permissions so that you can determine what your users are allowed to do on your server. See you there!
