Hi Alan

  Ubuntu offers 'plug and play' like install for LAMP
 
  http://www.ubuntu.com/news/lamp?highlight=%28LAMP%29

  I've never used it, but Ubuntu is a well organized group of people, so I would give that a roll before you delve into HD partitions, etc.  If KDE is a show-stopper, it is possible to install KDE desktop on Ubuntu.

  Either way, [k]Ubuntu is by far the best distro I have ever used( including RH ).

  good luck, Alan.

I am about to install software on a server with a Kubuntu CD.  The
server will be used for web site hosting so it needs a nice LAMP setup.

It is preferred to have VPS capability with control panels for each
virtual server.  Even placing each virtual server in a UML or some other
isolated environment would be great.

What tips can you in the group provide for hints on this configuration
before I get started.  Items like:

- - Partition structure
- - Packages to select
- - Important steps or selections
- - Anything else?

I have not done a VPS / UML / chrooted / whatever setup before.  I hope
to jump-start from your experience to get it right the first time.

Alan
