Acer Aspire Easystore H340 Home Server help
I must confess to being a bit of a noob when it comes to servers and things. I have an H340 Home Server, and I really want to eliminate any Windows on it.
Having read what people have written here, I installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 on an empty drive via an existing machine. Then I removed the supplied 1 TB drive with Windows Server on it from the H340, inserted the new Ubuntu server drive.
Now I can power up the machine, the lights come on, the network light flickers with activity, and...
Well, I am at a bit of a loss at what to "do" now.
The H340 is connected to a router, just like my existing machine, so it gets an IP address from the DHCP server in the router.
How do I actually connect to the H340? I really don't know. Do I go "Places->Network"? or "Places->Connect to Server"? Or do I do a remote desktop connection?
When it is powered up, how does it start without a user doing a login?
There is no keyboard, screen, etc. Only the network cable.
I would appreciate some help here.
I hope I don't come across as silly and useless, I have simply never had to deal with a Server before, so I need some hand-holding for a while. I have Ubuntu 10.10 desktop and Windows 7 dual boot.
Thanks
