Roger, if you have a second box you aren't doing much with, check out 
proxmox. Then run all your stuff in virtual containers on one machine. 
Each "container" has it's own stripped down Ubuntu server running 10.4

Good idea, stay back a bit and be reliable. Then once you install the 
promox iso image to that machine and fire it up, you get a nice 
interface that you use from your main machine desktop browser to 
administrate it.

All the major packages, like Drupal, Word Press. LAMP, you name it, are 
in "vz" files. You create a "container", give your info and install one 
of about 50 vz files that are complete turnkey installs from their own 
repo. None are "cutting edge" installs. Stable is the name of their 
game. It like a friggin' rock.

It runs like a scalded ape, compared to trying to run something on your 
native 12.04 box, crowded up with the kitchen sink. I've got a 6 core 
AMD processor with 16 gigs on this machine and it appears that the Intel 
dual core proxmox box with a lousy 2 gigs is faster to respond than the 
same app installed local, without all of the desktop crap overhead.

Just for ducks I just logged into it with Chrome. Wow, mucho response 
improvement. It has to be firefox... damn it. Ric
