After installing the Ubuntu Server, you will need to administrate it. If you are a newbie, this chapter is mandatory for you. So follow it to the letter. If you are an advanced Linux user who has experience working with other distributions, you can consider the experience of trying a new distribution similar to that of driving a new car. The car certainly has a steering wheel, a gas pedal, and a brake, but it still takes you a minute to adjust the mirrors, find out where the gauges and controls are, and adjust the seat until you feel comfortable. Think of this chapter as that minute or two behind the wheel of a new car.
To reach this goal, we will follow this plan:
Administering using the command line
The package management of an Ubuntu Server
The network configuration for an Ubuntu Server
Performing essential system administration tasks
