A while back I said that this fall I was going to reinstall the server that powers (among others) this website. I reneged on this since I was a coward, and felt it would be a lot of work.
But, after having fiddled around with Ubuntu Server in a VM I’ve come to the insight that it won’t be as much work as I thought it might be. Sure, it’ll still be work, but not nearly as much as I anticipated. In fact, I think it’ll go over fairly smooth.
I’m going to hold off on it until the upcoming version of Ubuntu Server is released, and then I’m going to take the plunge.

When is the next version coming?
It will be released simultaneously with the desktop-version on October 29th.
