The Usual Stuff

Like the last several times, I'm performing the basic server setup using Ubuntu 6.10 Server Edition. It's a good basis for what I'm doing. Like before, I'm:

Assigning a Static IP
Configuring the Repositories
Setting Up SSH
Performing Software Updates
Making SSH Configuration Changes

And configuring ntpdate as outlined here.

UPDATE: 30 minutes later, and these steps are done. That's all for tonight.
