How do I set up Linode Ubuntu from scratch & do postfix mail server?
I'm not sure where to find the excellent knowledge base articles that people used to write here on Linode.
I am looking for a good one on how to set up an Ubuntu linode from scratch. And I also want to set up a postfix mail server on the linode.
Thanks.
