Here is the first update on 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). 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
