Choose the drive you need to re-partition or format from the top right. Then select your partition (in this case /dev/sda1). By right click on the partition a menu pops up that lets you choose to Delete or Format this partition.
Partitions need to be unmounted before ...

Open a terminal and type sudo tasksel install mail-server
That will give you a fully functional mailserver with sane defaults.
For more information on how to setup a more customized solution, refer to the Ubuntu Server Guide for 12.04:

Wherever possible, a proper installation is best for the system. While virtualization gives you a lot of control, a full install gives you more flexibility within the system itself, gives your OS full access to the hardware potential, and allows you to get the full potential from the system.
Even if you are just doing coding, it might still be a good idea.

Before we are able to setup an account with Evolution we need to know a few details on your account setting that you need to ask from your provider:
Email address
Username for login
Password for login
Account type: IMAP or POP3
Name of the server for incoming mail (e.g. imap.provider.com)
Name of the server for outgoing mail (e.g. smtp.provider.com)

You need to make use of the alternate installer
It's available from here: alternate-i386.iso or alternate-amd64.iso
Boot from the alternate CD. When you are presented with the installer main menu, Press F6 to see the "other options" menu. At the top of the list should be Expert Mode. Enable it by hitting return, close the menu (escape) and hit install.

You can use server installation instead of desktop, then add packages after. That will significantly cut down initial download.
You add GUI (unity, gnome, lightdm, gdm, etc) later. They will function exactly the same as the desktop installation.
The major difference between Server and Desktop installation is all GUI and desktop related packages.

1) Stop freaking out :)
2) Do you have mod_ssl installed?
3) Do you have mod_ssl enabled in apache? (enable it through a2enmod or create symlink in modules-enabled pointing to mod_ssl in modules-available)
4) with mod_ssl there usually comes sample configuration file, the basically-configured virtual host could look like this

Your network is x.x.146.48 and your broadcast x.x.146.63.
Network and broadcast can be derived from ip and netmask. Netmask is used to separate the IP in two different segments (they are called network and host). If you look at your netmask in binary it looks like:
11111111.11111111.11111111.1111000
The ones mark the network segment, the zeros the host.

Actually there is a splendid generic way of accessing remote resources as if they were local.
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 username@EC2machine
this will tunnel the port 80 (the http protocol) , on your EC2 instance to your own computers loopback interface on the port 8080
Simply typing http://localhost:8080 on your computers web browser will redirect the ...

From the comment to @DannyStaple I understand you look for different information.
If you want to know where apt-get download the (unpacked) packages you install, have a look in
/var/cache/apt/archives
This directory could become very big, so feel free to remove the content by hand, or preferably by issuing the command
sudo apt-get clean
Moreover, if ...

Personally I would wait, putting it in just to take it back out doesn't make sense. If you have no special needs and just want a lot of space you could do like this: (i will imagine that the new disk is a 320GB just for kicks ;)
sda1 / 75GB
sda2 "swap" 5GB
sdb1 /home 320GB
But there are a lot of different ways to set up disks these days! You ...

I have a computer with much less horsepower that I use for this purpose that I just run plain old Ubuntu desktop on, but share out some folders to a mixed network that includes Windows machine (both XP and Windows 7) and also a couple of day-to-day Ubuntu machines. I have a couple of external hard drives that I use off of this machine that do automated ...

Obviously trac-admin requires Trac==0.12.2. The trac version in the ubuntu natty repositories is 0.11.7-4 (trac ubuntu package).
You could try to install trac 0.12.2 in natty using easy_install. That's a python module that lets you automatically download, build, install, and manage Python packages.
So try:
sudo easy_install Trac==0.12.2

Note that there is a juju charm for mediawiki, though it is meant for higher scale installations which would have multiple web-heads and dedicated instances for MySQL, memcached, etc. To use it you can install and setup juju (see https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/) and then type
juju bootstrap
juju deploy mediawiki mywiki
juju deploy mysql wiki-db

You will need a minimum of 6 machines in order to set up OpenStack. However you can use one as a MAAS server to deploy the other one, but that wouldn't be a good use of that server.
These tools are more designed for larger deployments, and having a way to use them for one or two servers isn't really a use case we're aggressively pursuing with these tools, ...

You can use crontab to add/remove/edit cronjobs.
Hit Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal.
First make sure the script is executable by running:
chmod +x YOURSCRIPT
Then run the following command to add your cronjob:
crontab -e
Add your cronjob like this:
0,30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/cron.php
That's it!
Your can check the current ...

All you need to do is use the package manager. If I understand you correctly it sounds like you tried to actually download a binary from their website, but it is unclear.
In windows this is standard, but in Linux or Ubuntu we use package managers or even the Software Store.
Try
sudo apt-get install qt-sdk
Let me know if this helps.

If you want to setup your own server, I'd recommend to install something like "owncloud" which is a web application for uploading and sharing files using the web browser (such as dropbox, iCloud or ubuntu one) (more info http://owncloud.org/)
To install it on your ubuntu computer (that will work as the server)
sudo apt-get install owncloud
You can then ...

Yes, you will need to install Samba from source though. See the Samba manual, chapter 2 deals with this. From the link:
In addition, Table 2-1 shows some other parameters that you can give the configure script if you wish to store parts of the Samba distribution in different places, perhaps to make use of multiple disks or partitions. Note that the ...

Bummer, the problem seems to be a bug (?) in debootstrap. When I run the command like this:

Some newer computers have a Boot menu as well as a BIOS setup menu.
For example, some computers use F2 for BIOS setup and F12 for Boot menu, which allows you to boot the computer from CD/DVD-ROM or USB drive instead of HDD.
Some older computers which don't have Boot menu, may use keys such as Delete or Esc as well to enter into BIOS menu.
You should ...

You can solve this as described in the help section:
I never received my verification code. Now what?
To work around this use the "Forgot password" process:

Once you complete that process, you can open the Ubuntu One Control
Panel and click on the "I already have an account" link.

You should be just fine sharing a home directory as you are. My opinion would be that you are sort of going about it the hard way, I would use a single install with both lxde and ubuntu-desktop, but if it works for you, well that is the advantage of Linux, you have choice.
You alternates would be it either use a shared data directory, and sync config files ...

64bit is recommended because most (probably all) systems sold today as servers are 64bit and have much more than 4GB of RAM, making 64bit necessary. If you're talking about normal 5 year old PC hardware though, I really doubt it's 64bit with 8GB of RAM, so go for 32bit.
I would just install openssh-server and use that to handle both SSH and SFTP (and by ...

Much better news:
The 12.04 beta 64 bit distro installed fine on the Acer Aspire 5742G. The non recovery mode runs in native resolution but screen backlight remains at maximum.

I think this is a known „shortcoming”. There are several bugs filed in the tracking system related to this topic. E.g.:
Minimize to Messaging Menu
Messaging menu TB extension disappears when TB is closed
This is still under active development, you can keep an eye on the progress starting from the Mozilla Labs Ubuntu Unity Messaging Menu page.
