So, I installed Ubuntu Server 8 today on an aged Dell that’s been sitting around. The installation was as easy as falling off a log. Really. It was straightforward and
apt-get is stupid easy. I did this because I needed a development platform for this Drupal book I’m working through. I started to put it on my Macs; but, getting
GD to play nice with Leopard has proven a pain. All of the workarounds I’ve seen are for Leopard Server.

I’m hoping to deploy Drupal for Augusta West’s (here is the old one) new website. I’ll have to be patient with myself as I learn this stuff. At least I’m having fun learning something new.
