Once that’s done, let Ubuntu proceed with updates. This is just a typewriter, so we won’t be emphasizing security. The reason for this is that we want the computer to automatically log in once it boots, and it won’t be able to do that if you encrypt the home directory. Important: Ubuntu will now offer to encrypt the home directory. Consult your laptop manual or manufacturer’s website for more information. There, I changed the boot sequence so that ‘USB Flash Disk’ was first. How you accomplish this step depends on the laptop you own on my Toshiba laptop, I had to press F2 as the computer was booting, enter the BIOS, and go to the Boot tab. Next, configure your laptop to boot from either USB or CD (whichever is more apropos). First, insert your media of choice for the purposes of this guide, put the CD you’ve burned into the laptop, or plug in the USB drive you prepared in the previous step. Installing Ubuntu Server is pretty simple, but it isn’t a mindless process: Although the text-only installer is clear, you still have to read each screen and understand what you’re doing. Follow the detailed instructions on the page, and you should end up with a CD or USB stick that you can use to install Ubuntu Server on your laptop. To do so, on the same page, go to step 2 and select the option to create a bootable CD or USB stick (I chose the latter). Once you have the file, use it to make a bootable disk.
Change the drop-down to say 32-bit, and click the big red Start download button.

Obviously, the first step is to get your hands on Ubuntu.
