if you are using a server.....its too risky to go installing anything until you know more. That takes reading and more experiments.

can I suggest that you become more comfortable with booting a linux live cd first?

see if this helps

Another option is re-install Win 2003, and install VirtualBox on it, then run Ubuntu in VirtualBox, and test it out? Just a thought, I use VirtualBox on my laptop to evaluate many OSes, and find it a good way to get a feel of various things in the OS before I use it with any clients!
