A piece of good news for servers ... or more

[oles@ovh.net]

Good evening,

Some good news: the Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmix Koala" distribution has just been announced and is already available at OVH (32 or 64bit) !

Since good news never comes alone, we propose to install it via Ext4 manager

And as two pieces of good news never come alone, the OVH kernel is incresed to 2.6.31.5 in all versions (GRS/RT/IPv6/...). The new installations (not that of Ubuntu 9.10) benefit immediately from this kernel, for the older ones, you can go through the netboot kernel or install on your disk :

http://help.ovh.co.uk/KernelNetboot
http://help.ovh.co.uk/KernelInstall

These kernels support the 10G network interface (totally useless for Kimsufi, SP, EG, MG, but indispensable for new HG 2010-10G ... yaaa!!).

Goodnight all!

All the best,
Octave

Just tried it, it works great.
Also, if your tired of Ubuntu 8.04 remote desktop, you can install Ubuntu 9.10 server then do (via putty)
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team
sudo apt-get update
sudo aptitude install freenx
sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install

And it will be a NXClient server setup for you :)
