I'm running Ubuntu (actually now Mythbuntu) on a new PC for use as a MythTV server, VMWare host and general file and MP3 server for a couple Windows XP and MacOS laptops. I'm doing this on a Dell n series Optiplex 740, which I mention beause you can order one without windows pre-installed.
As I go this process, I thought I'd share my experiences (and record them so I can remember them) since although Ubuntu is nice, I'm still having to work through a number of non-trivial steps.
I'm fairly well versed in Unix and Windows. I'm assuming the reader has some expertise, so I'm not going into every little detail, just the stuff I think is not obvious. (One thing to note is that I run 'sudo -i' and then do everything in a root shell, so I don't prefix each root command with 'sudo'.)
