It’s finally here, my updated how-to on how to get Ubuntu Dapper up and running as a home web server. Perfect for hosting those small web sites and blogs. My original Ubuntu 5.10 web server how-to is still available.

This updated version is very similar to the 5.10 how-to, however, there are a few changes required. The following changes have been made:

• Setting up the Multiverse and Universe repositories
• The packages to install Ruby
• Setting a symbolic link for Ruby
• Updating rubygems
• Clearing the rubygems cache

Other than those, the rest of the how-to is the same as the Breezy how-to.
