I went to Ubuntu and immediately found they only show 64-bit downloads for their servers - I did find a listing of their previous which included (32-bit) - then I worried that if I'm that far behind there will probably not be the necessary 'HowTos' to help me - cause I have recently retired and have no friends (Garus) around to hold my hand. I have no history using linux - always wanted to, even tried sometime ago - remember Lindows?
So someone give me your thoughts - 'bit off more then I can chew ?' Or is it really a simple as some of the articles I read ?
Thanks in advance

I suggest you create your own thread in the server subboard on this website. I suggest Debian or some other distribution for a server.

I'm asking if people want me to write a how-to in order to do something like that. Also, the clueless entrance of a poster in this thread makes me think there need to be some more obvious how-tos. Things aren't as bad as they used to be about ten years ago, but sometimes tutorials are lacking. Thankfully the automagic trend came around.
