With all components where they should be<\/a> and the machine booting, installing an operating system (OS) was the next step. GNU\/Linux<\/a> was the obvious choice and all of my machines run on Ubuntu<\/a>, so Ubuntu it is.<\/p>\n

As the machine is intended to act as server, Ubuntu 12.04LTS would make sense, however as my Xeon Haswell CPU (E3-V1245V3) is relatively new, the Linux Kernel and drivers that come with 12.04 are not a perfect fit for the hardware. – So Ubuntu 13.10 it is.<\/p>\n

It was as simple as this: Download the 13.10 server image from http:\/\/www.ubuntu.com\/<\/a>, put it on an USB drive using http:\/\/www.pendrivelinux.com\/<\/a> (Windows) or the Startup Disk Creator<\/a> (Linux). Restart the machine, enter the boot menu by pressing F12 and boot from the USB drive. The setup is quit intuitive. As I started with an empty SSD, all I had to do is select automatic installation using LVM on the empty hard drive. To start with I selected LAMP, OpenSSH and Samba as server roles.<\/p>\n

The computer rebooted after the installation leaving me with a login prompt.<\/p>\n

\"login\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After login I installed all the stuff that I would need to also run the PC as desktop.<\/p>\n

Finally reboot the machine and you should be greeted by a graphical user interface.<\/p>\n
