Introduction
Linode is one of the best low-cost Virtual Private Server Hosts available, offering Xen VPS Hosting for a number of popular operating systems. With the release of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I felt that it was past time that I upgraded my webserver (the one that runs this website, actually!), and document the little tweaks that I discovered along the way.
What we’re setting up
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- A standard LAMP Stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
- BIND DNS resolution—combined with Virtualmin below, you’ll be able to manage your own domains!
- Linode reverse-DNS resolution
- Virtualmin / Webmin backend server management
