Overview¶ ↑

This project contains a set of shell scripts for installing and configuring a fresh Ubuntu operating system. It is assumed that the base Ubuntu install is a server install and not a client install.

This project can serve as a prelude to the Rails Setup Project should you wish to have a bootstrapped Rails app running on a fresh Ubuntu install with a full server stack.
