Introduction

Ubuntu Instant * Servers are specialized Ubuntu installations with pre-configured software sets geared toward specific services such as a Web Server, Groupware Server, or Source Control Server. Ubuntu Instant * Servers are aimed at providing users and administrators with a very simple method of very quickly installing servers and services on their network without needing to be an expert using the server/services in question. These Ubuntu Instant Servers would provide their intented service as well as a complete management interface for the service it provices.

Rationale

Get people new to Ubuntu, up and running with their own specific servers in under 30 minutes. Provide additional proof of Ubuntu's flexability and ease of use.
