<p dir="ltr">So I have learned something interesting. My system has a Marvell based chips etc providing some extra sata3 ports. If I have a SATA device plugged into that controller I gets some pretty interesting errors on boot preventing the installer from even loading. In this case my blue ray drive was connected so I simply unplugged that. This was affecting me on Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10.</p>

<p>In my experience the server install is pretty much just
a minimal install that asks you at the end if you want
to install certain typical server software. I just
normally just pick SSH server and then add whatever I
want after the first boot. I've always had less
problems installing the server over rather than the
desktop install because of the odd graphics card
problems that pop up from time to time (but hardly ever
these days) since the server install uses a text based
installer. The server install will allow you easily
install a basic system and then install the proprietary
graphics drivers afterwards skipping having to have them
to install in the first place.</p>
<p>The only real gotcha is that it takes longer to install
since much of your software (aka your entire desktop
environment) will have to be downloaded over the
Internet rather than coming off of nice fast flash
drives or DVDs. You could, if you are in a hurry,
install via the server install disk and then use the
packages on the desktop install to feed your desktop
install, but in the long run it probably won't save you
any time since you would still want to update everything
over the Internet and that would take just about as
long. Then again, if you have the server installed, you
can actually be doing stuff to customize your install at
the same time that it's installing/updating so it's
probably all in all a speed win.<span class="m_5561462196125305301m_2453982024417697466HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Yes, AMD is a root evil for linux
graphics and at times the kernels,
but nvidia to this day still has not
put out a 6-head video card like AMD
that I actually use all 6 ports of.
Now I have 3x montiors (well, tv's),
so this new one has a nice new 1070
card in it. Which thanks to their
crappy business practices too of not
releasing firmware immediately (that
amd would decompile), I know nouveau
has issues with, and the binary
drive is necessary. I'm handy with
cli here, not too worried, more that

</span> That's why I tried Mint
Debian Edition - figured deb it
might suck less and just wanted a
modern ui, but found that their
driver support for AMD, or rather a
support for modern versions thereof
for graphics were fairly lacking,
and no one from a major org cares
enough to fix it. I simply could
not get their kernel to take the amd
driver, which was a non-starter.
It's actually what drove me finally
back to Ubuntu natively just for a
working video solution, and at times
keeps me bound.<span class="m_5561462196125305301m_2453982024417697466m_2792327019177089564gmail_msg"><br class="m_5561462196125305301m_2453982024417697466m_2792327019177089564gmail_msg">
