The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10) [ISPConfig 2] This tutorial shows how to set up an Ubuntu Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10) server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters: Apache web server (SSL-capable), Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server, Courier POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free webhosting control panel ISPConfig 2 (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it out of the box).

HOW-TO Install & Perfect Ubuntu 9.10 [The 25 Part KARMIC KOALA BIBLE]
I couldn't agree more. The latest release of Ubuntu (9.10) has been a tremendous disappointment, haven't spent this much time fixing a distro since Gentoo or CRUX.
cos for an Ubuntu server edition, never install anything other than a LTS edition ..
.. so the best choice of Ubuntu server to date would be Hardy Heron 8.04.
Just my tuppency ha'penny :)
(Oh, and Nginx is way more perfect than Apache for most of us too)
Karmic Koala aka 9.10 is worst ever release of UBUNTU ever.
Every package has some problem or the other. Ridiculous! The users (first adopters) are serving as the unit testers.
Bugs are crawling all over the place.
Well, I suggest not to use ubuntu on servers, and my point of view is explained on my kerneltrap note , really better to use Centos or Fedora.
