In this guide from TechRepublic Premium we’re going to explore the various things you can do with a Linux server. We won’t leave out any steps, so you won’t have to refer to another tutorial to complete the process. The only step we will leave out is the installation of Linux, as we’ll assume you have the platform already up and running and ready to serve your needs.

STEP 1: UPDATE AND UPGRADE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM

The first thing to do is make sure that the operating system is up-to-date. Remember, if the kernel gets upgraded, you’ll probably need to reboot, so do this at a time when that is a viable option.

To update and upgrade an Ubuntu Server, log in and issue the following two commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade -y
