I need to set up a Mercurial server for experimentation. The setup will be in a virtual machine, and I figured this was a good time to check out Ubuntu (the other option was Windows).
The Mercurial server will be light use; as it is purely for lab / demonstration purposes; however, I need to set up a full multi-repository server, which requires a web server (Apache seems to be the obvious choice).
So, the question is: should I start with Ubuntu Desktop or Server?
Thanks!
