572382 2007-07-25 00:44:00 You said you were interested in a terminal server - why not have a go at setting up xdmcp? This is basically the Linux version of a terminal server. Yes, you can connect to it from Windows - just note that as it doesn't use rdp, you can't use remote desktop to connect to it. If you require a local X server, XMing (sourceforge.net) is brilliant.

MythTV is a Linux PVR package.

572384 2007-07-25 01:54:00 i finally successfully installed Ubantu Server 7.0.4, how do i log in? it refuses to let me in. During setup i created an account with the user name Aidan (me obviously) i enter that in and the correct password i made, and it says : "login incorrect" help! aidanmaz (7180)
572385 2007-07-25 02:10:00 How strange, I had the exact same problem with Suse... and I knew the password was correct from installing a few minutes before. Ended up being a reinstall was the easiest way after reading some of the workarounds.

Did you try and set a username containing uppercase characters?

no username and password al lower case: aidan and password: linux (not connected to net so it safe) btw ISA is a firewall and caching server

572388 2007-07-25 03:21:00 Use iptables (firewall) and squid (caching proxy). Both are excellent. Erayd (23)

I had that once - turns out I must have "fat-fingered" my password ( twice ) and it wasnt what I thought it was - a quick reinstall is the most painless cure.

Ubuntu server is gui-less so your will need to apt-get install gnome-desktop (or the gui of your choice ) if you want to point-n-click

I'm using a kubuntu powered file server ( out in the shed because of the noise of 4x 80mm fans ) it has 4 different ide drives all shared to the LAN via samba - works a treat.

Is it possible your install cd is defective?
If you have a plain Ubuntu 7.04 desktop CD you can install the LAMP stack and turn it into the server version by doing sudo tasksel install lamp-server
