First off I want to thank everyone for a great forum and people here are willing to take their time and help people with their systems
O.k I have a Compaq Proliant series 3135 server just sitting in the corner doing nothing I am wanting to install ubuntu on it and put it to use I have a few questions
1.) Is there anyway that I can install ubuntu on it ?
2.) If it is possible what version of Ubuntu will work (server) ?
3.) Will I have any problems with the hardware I know it has 4 SCSI Harddrives 2 CPU's
4.) Will it be worth trying to install Ubuntu server on this machine?
edit: 5.) I forgot to add I seen some where that there is away to control the server from my desktop through the web without a monitor, keyboard or mouse hooked up after install will this also be possible to do ?
Also it has Windows 2000 server install I want to remove this all together
If any one can point me in the right direction or help on setting Ubunbtu up on this machine would be greatly appropriated
I have seen a site on a Compaq proliant 1600 series server but not for sure it would be the same here is the link to the site

Thanks in advance
Sorry for the typo in the title I tried to change it but could not
If no one can help that is fine I will try and search for how to install or try to install with the link above to see if it will work or not
