NOTE: A 5GB root filesystem is a bit small. Unless you pay attention to disk usage I would recommend at least 16GB.
This is my first video in a series of tutorials i will create on how to setup and maintain an Ubuntu Linux server. This video covers installation and basic setup and in future videos i will be covering software installation and setup such as hosting a web-server, fileserver, or a minecraft server. im seeing how interested people would be in a series like this so feel free to give feedback and pointers.
