In around 15 minutes, the time it takes to install Ubuntu Server Edition, you can have a LAMP (Linux, Apache,MySQL and PHP) server up and ready to go. This feature, exclusive to Ubuntu Server Edition, is available at the time of installation.

The LAMP option means you don’t have to install and integrate each of the four separate LAMP components, a process which can take hours and requires someone who is skilled in the installation and configuration of the individual applications. Instead, you get increased security, reduced time-to-install, and reduced risk of misconfiguration, all of which results in a lower cost of ownership.New pre-configured installation options have been added to the Ubuntu Server Cloud computing server,cloud computing node and PostgreSQL Database options join existing Mail Server, Open SSH Server,Samba File Server, Print Server, Tomcat Java Server,Virtual Machine Host,Manual Package selection,LAMP and DNS options for pre-configured installations, easing the deployment of common server configurations.

I’ve been using this cute little phone for few weeks. As a phone, overall is better than my previous Toshiba G900.  Moreover, i’ve upgraded the N2 OS from version 2.1.552.2 to 2.1.552.5. (* did not notice what is the changes in newest version..)

Anyway, in case u need to replace the 1GB storage to higher capacity, u need to install the OS. Below is the guide of doing a clean installation on new storage card.

Resources needed:

Neonode N2 OS  and manual, where u can download at www.neonode.com.

First, turn off your N2 and connect it to your PC through the USB cable, backup all your files.

*It will act like a removable drive.

Second, run the Nero.exe program. Click “Change”.

Select your desire languages.

Then, click “Advance”. U can see there are 2 option, “clean installation” and “Format SD”. For upgrade OS only, choose “clean installation”. Whereas for new storage card, click “Format SD”. After formatted SD, u need to run the Nero.exe again for installation.

Once finished copied the files to your N2, your N2 will start installing the OS.
