Introduction Installation Preparing to Install Introduction Welcome to the Ubuntu Server Guide! Download the Ubuntu server guide as a PDF. This is the preliminary and in development for the next Ubuntu LTS, Focal Fossa. Contents may have errors and omissions. Changes, Errors, and Bugs If you find any errors or have suggestions for improvements to pages, please use the link at thebottomof each topic titled: “Help improve this document in the forum.” This link will take you to the Server Discourse forum for the specific page you are viewing. There you can share your comments or let us know aboutbugs with each page. Support There are a couple of different ways that Ubuntu Server Edition is supported: commercial support and community support. The main commercial support (and development funding) is available from Canonical, Ltd. They supply reasonably- priced support contracts on a per desktop or per server basis. For more information see the Ubuntu Advantage page. Community support is also provided by dedicated individuals and companies that wish to make Ubuntu the best distribution possible. Support is provided through multiple mailing lists, IRC channels, forums, blogs, wikis, etc. The large amount of information available can be overwhelming, but a good search engine query can usually provide an answer to your questions. See the Ubuntu Support page for more information. Installation This chapter provides a quick overview of installing Ubuntu 20.04 Server Edition. For more detailed instruc- tions, please refer to the Ubuntu Installation Guide. Preparing to Install This section explains various aspects to consider before starting the installation. System Requirements Ubuntu 20.04 Server Edition provides a common, minimalist base for a variety of server applications, such as file/print services, web hosting, email hosting, etc. This edition supports four (4) major architectures: AMD64, ARM, POWER8, LinuxONE and z Systems. The “live server” installer (sometimes called “Ubiquity for Servers” or simply “subiquity”) provides a user friendly and fast installation experience. The older installer, based on debian-installer, is still available if you can’t use the live server installer for some reason. The table below lists recommended minimum hardware specifications. Depending on your needs, you might manage with less than this, but it is not generally recommended. 1 Install Type CPU RAM Hard Drive Space Server (Standard) 1 gigahertz 512 megabytes 1.5 gigabyte 2.5 gigabytes live server 1 gigahertz (amd64 only) 1 gigabyte 1.5 gigabyte n/a Server (Minimal) 300 megahertz 384 megabytes 1.5 gigabytes 2.5 gigabytes Server and Desktop Differences The Ubuntu Server Edition and the Ubuntu Desktop Edition use the same apt repositories, making it just as easy to install a server application on the Desktop Edition as on the Server Edition. One major difference is that the graphical environment used for the Desktop Edition is not installed for the Server. This includes the graphics server itself, the graphical utilities and applications, and the various user-supporting services needed by desktop users. The Server Edition’s kernel used to be tuned differently from Desktop, but currently both rely on the same Linux configuration. Backing Up • Before installing Ubuntu Server Edition you should make sure all data on the system is backed up. If this is not the first time an operating system has been installed on your computer, it is likelyyou will need to re-partition your disk to make room for Ubuntu. Any time you partition your disk, you should be prepared to lose everything on the disk should you make a mistake or something goes wrong during partitioning. The programs used in installation are quite reliable, most have seen years of use, but they also perform destructive actions. Installing using the live server installer The basic steps to install Ubuntu Server Edition are the same as those for installing any operating system. Unlike the Desktop Edition, the Server Edition does not include a graphical installation program. The Live Server installer uses a text-based console interface which runs on the default virtual console. The interface can be entirely driven by the enter, up and down arrow keys (with some occasional typing). During the installation you can switch to a different console (by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F<n> or Ctrl-Alt-Right) to get access to a shell, if needed. Up until the point where the installation begins, you can use the “back” buttons to go back to previous screens and choose different options. • Download the appropriate ISO file from the Ubuntu web site. • Boot the system from media (e.g. USB key) containing the ISO file. • At the boot prompt you will be asked to select a language. • From the main boot menu there are some additional options to install Ubuntu Server Edition. You can install a basic Ubuntu Server, check the installation media for defects, check the system’s RAM, or boot from first hard disk. The rest of this section will cover the basic Ubuntu Server install. • After booting into the installer, it will ask you which language to use. • Next, the installation process begins by asking for your keyboard layout. You can ask the installer to attempt auto-detecting it, or you can select it manually from a list. Later stages of the installation will require you to type ASCII characters, so if the layout you select does not allow that, you will be 2 prompted for a key combination to switch between a layout that does and the one you select. The default keystroke for this is Alt + Shift. • Next, the installer offers the choice to install the system as a vanilla Ubuntu server,a MAAS bare-metal cloud rack controller or a MAAS region controller. If you select one of the MAAS options you will be asked for some details. • The installer configures the network to run DHCP on each network interface. If this is not sufficient to get access to the internet you should configure at least one interface manually. Select an interface to configure it. • If the Ubuntu archive can only be accessed via a proxy in your environment, it can be entered on the next screen. Leave the field blank if it is not required. • You can then choose to let the installer use an entire disk or configure the partitioning manually. The first disk you create a partition on will be selected as the boot disk and have an extra partition created on it to contain the bootloader; you can move the boot partition to a different drive with the “Select as boot disk” button. Once you move on from this screen, the installation progress will begin. It will not be possible to move back to this or previous screens and any data on the disks you have configured the installer to use will be lost. • The next screen configures the initial user for the system. You can import SSH keys from Launchpad or Github but a password is still required to be set, as this user will have root access through the sudo utility. • The final screen shows the progress of the installer. Once the installation has completed, youwillbe prompted to reboot into your newly installed system. Advanced Installation Software RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks “RAID” is a method of using multiple disks to provide different balances of increasing data reliability and/or increasing input/output performance, depending on the RAID level being used. RAID is implemented in either software (where the operating system knows about both drives and actively maintains both of them) or hardware (where a special controller makes the OS think there’s only one drive and maintains the drives ‘invisibly’). The RAID software included with current versions of Linux (and Ubuntu) is based on the ‘mdadm’ driver and works very well, better even than many so-called ‘hardware’ RAID controllers. This section will guide you through installing Ubuntu Server Edition using two RAID1 partitions on two physical hard drives, one for / and another for swap. Partitioning Follow the installation steps until you get to the Partition disks step, then: Select Manual as the partition method. Select the first hard drive, and agree to “Create a new empty partition table on this device?”. Repeat this step for each drive you wish to be part of the RAID array. Select the “FREE SPACE” on the first drive then select “Create a new partition”. 3 Next, select the Size of the partition. This partition will be the swap partition, and a general rule for swap size is twice that of RAM. Enter the partition size, then choose Primary, then Beginning. Note A swap partition size of twice the available RAM capacity may not always be desirable, especially on systems with large amounts of RAM. Calculating the swap partition size for servers is highly dependent on how the system is going to be used. Select the “Use as:” line at the top. By default this is “Ext4 journaling file system”, change that to “physical volume for RAID” then “Done setting up partition”. For the / partition once again select “Free Space” on the first drive then “Create a new partition”. Use the rest of the free space on the drive and choose Continue, then Primary. As with the swap partition, select the “Use as:” line at the top, changing it to “physical volume for RAID”. Also select the “Bootable flag:” line to change the value to “on”. Then choose “Done setting up partition”. Repeat steps three through eight for the other disk and partitions. RAID Configuration With the partitions setup the arrays are ready to be configured: Back in the main “Partition Disks” page, select “Configure Software RAID” at the top. Select “yes” to write the changes to disk.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Alphyn Capital Management, LLC
    v Letter to investors, Q3 2020 Performance The Master Account, in which I am personally invested alongside SMA clients, returned -0.7% net in Q3 2020, as reported by our fund administrator. As of September 30th, 2020, the top ten positions comprised approximately 69% of the portfolio, and the portfolio held approximately 17% in cash. ACML S&P500 TR 2019 18.9% 31.5% 2020 YTD -11.0% 5.6% Growth Companies The remarkable performance of the S&P500, especially against the backdrop of COVID-19, government mandated shutdowns throughout much of the world, and stress in the “real economy” has been driven predominantly by the large technology stocks. For example, the chart below from Yardeni Research1 shows the outsized impact of the FAANMG companies on the index’s performance over the last half decade. The FAANMGs are clearly dominant companies, built by visionary founders who have developed some of the most powerful competitive advantages anywhere in the world, driven by some of the best business models. These behemoths gush cash flow (except Netflix) and enjoy rapid growth without needing to deploy much capital. We did avail ourselves of the opportunity in March of this year to pick up some AMZN and GOOG stock. Beyond the FAANMGs, the broad tech space has enjoyed impressive gains this year, especially Software as a Service (or SaaS) companies and those involved with cloud computing. For example, the WisdomTree Cloud Computing (WCLD) ETF has gained approximately 68% in 2020. These companies, overall, while not yet possessing moats as powerful as those of the FAANMGs, nevertheless are beneficiaries of the large structural shift online.

Per pale wavy argent and azure, a fish naiant within an orle counterchanged. Cormac Ainsheasccar mac Muiredaig. Name and device. Per pale argent and sable, a bat counterchanged. Listed on the LoI as Cormac Ainsheasccar mac Muireadhaigh, the name was originally submitted as Cormac Ainsheasccar mac Muiredaich and changed in kingdom so that the descriptive byname and the patronymic byname were linguistically and temporally compatible. While we commend the kingdom’s desire to promote authentic names, we note that the changes made in kingdom were not necessary for registration. While Muiredaich is not a correct genitive form of the Middle Irish name Muiredach, it is not necessary for registration to change the byname to the Early Modern Irish genitive form Muireadhaigh instead of the correct Middle Irish genitive Muiredaig. The submitter did not request authenticity, and the name is registerable with the first two elements in Early Modern Irish and the second byname in Middle Irish, with just one step from period practice for the lingual combination. We have changed the name to Cormac Ainsheasccar mac Muiredaig to restore it to a form closer to the originally submitted form. Fredeburg von Katzenellenbogen. Badge. (Fieldless) A printer’s ball Or.

  • Calontir Heralds Handbook
    Calontir Herald’s Handbook Third Edition [updated 2014] This Page Intentionally Left Blank From the Gold Falcon Principal Herald Greetings to one and all! I would like to thank all those individuals who give of their time and efforts in the service of heraldry for the Kingdom of Calontir and the Society. Whether it’s through an aspect of vocal heraldry (making event announcements, handling camp cries, doing court); field heraldry (calling rounds, directing participants, announcing winners); pageantry (presenting combatants & consorts, helping with display, holding heraldic competitions); book heraldry (creating devices, documenting names, running consulting tables, providing commentary); ceremonial & protocol heraldry (researching period grants, writing scroll text, keeping an Order of Precedence); silent heraldry (assisting those with hearing impairments) or through support of those involved in an aspect of heraldry…the kingdom would not run as smoothly without your endeavors This is the third edition of the Calontir Herald’s Handbook published for both heralds within the kingdom and other individuals interested in the various aspects that the art and science of heraldry takes within the SCA and in Calontir specifically. We hope that all will find this publication to be a valuable resource. As the SCA’s knowledge of heraldry continues to develop there come changes to the standards and policies that heralds need to be aware of. Readers of this handbook will note some changes from previous editions, so whether you are new to heraldry, or are a more experienced herald, please take the time to read through the handbook to acquaint yourself with the material that it contains.
