Also, you can just follow the ubuntu wiki's easilly to install your software, as ubuntu has really good documentation([http://wiki.ubuntu.com Ubuntu wiki])In addition, ubuntu dapper LTS has a 5 year time period of support. |

I checked it with my own server and then my webhosts, and it works correctly. | This package was created using debootstrap, and using the ubuntu dapper repositories.
