One of my projects over the recent holiday was to rebuild the home network. Working on a home network is a different sort of beast than working on a network for a company. There are different challenges to be addressed. After research, I settled on the use of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (”Hardy Heron”) for the server build. More here

After doing a fair amount of research, I settled on the use of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (”Hardy Heron”) for the server build. I didn’t go with Ubuntu 8.10 (”Intrepid Ibex”) simply because a) I already had 8.04.1 downloaded and burned to a CD; and b) Hardy Heron is an LTS release, so I should have better support over the long term.
