CORRECTING RESOLUTION
Ubuntu Server 6.06 needs to have "vga=0x314" added to "/boot/grub/menu.lst" to play nice with Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 and Virtual PC 2007. When GRUB is loading, press ESC and load in recovery mode to edit the menu.lst file. The kernel line should look something like:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-server vga=0x314 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash
To edit the file, issue command: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
STATIC IP CONFIGURATION
Issue command: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
and configure:
iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.254
CONFIGURE APACHE TO ENCODE HTTP OUTPUT USING GZIP, DEFLATE
Issue command: sudo a2enmod deflate
Issue command: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Issue command: sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
and add:
ServerSignature Off ServerTokens Prod AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
Find the BrowserMatch entries and add:
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
