Here is the first update on [Project Uptime](https://kudithipudi.org/project-uptime/). I spun up a new server (doesn’t that sound so odd.. spun up a new server!! :)) with 512MB of RAM running [Ubuntu 11.1o (Oneiric Ocelot)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot?ref=kudithipudi.org). First order of business after spinning up the server?

- Update to the latest and greatest patches

```
sudo apt-get update
```

- Update to the latest kernel.
  - First check the version of kernel you are running

```
uname -r
```

  - Check the repository for latest version

```
apt-cache search linux-image
```

  - Install latest version

```
sudo apt-get install linux-image-LATEST-VERSION
```

  - Restart server

```
sudo init 6
```
