[Ubuntu-SG] Running server

[Ho Yi Hao Pipat]

Hi people, some updates and help needed.

Kubuntu live cd won't boot as expected. It just get stuck at the  
splash screen.

I tried archlinux but the installation screen is very much confusing.  
Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

With regards,
Yi Hao
