Server Dummy

Hey all,
just got ubuntu-minimal for my VPS and idk if it has what's needed to use things like Web or FTP, possibly even Quassel.

any suggestions ?

If it doesn't have the capability right now it can be easily added on (even the desktop installs can run server apps, it's just not very efficient). If you want webhosting I recommend installing apache, for FTP I would recommend proftpd. Just use the regular apt-get like you would with a normal desktop install.

just installed apache2... but it used my IP as domain... I have a domain of my own though, how can i configure apache to recognize my domain(or w/e it is to get apache to use my domain). :)

thank you.
