How to make my own dedicated linux server?

Q. I would like to know how to do it like those websites that offers some like "OVH", but one that doesn't consume a lot of power (that mean no screen and all) but that i can acces through filezilla and that i can ssh so i can type codes directly in the terminal. Thanks for you answer, if you don't know how to do it, can you just tell me what is the name of doing this ?

A. First, install Ubuntu Server. Then, when it is up and running, look for and install LAMP. LAMP includes everything you need to run a web server. Once set up and installed, it's very easy to activate ftp and ssh on the Ubuntu server. LAMP typically has options to enable and configure these since it knows you're going to use them. There are many many detailed guides on how to install LAMP. The Ubuntu Server installation is pretty straightforward so no guide really needed for that, but there are some out there if you need it. Too much to type in here so just Google it. You start the LAMP install by a simple apt-get command.

how can i delete files i installed with the linux terminal?
Q. i just now installed ubuntu and first i installed eclipse with the terminal (sodu apt get) command, it was taking way to long to install so i canceld it and realized i could install eclipse with synaptics.

so my question is first, where do the files go installed via terminal if i cancel it and if i dont.

also i installed ubuntu yesterday on a 74gig partition and now i only have 11gigs left... why? i didnt do anything yet except install a bunch of php editors. (5)

A. Since you seem to like to use the terminal:
To delete files that you installed with apt use
sudo apt-get remove --purge name_of_package
Adding --purge to the command will remove any config files also; a really complete removal of any package.
If you have some file that you want to delete use the rm command.
Synaptic will not install programs any faster than apt-get, it is just a gui where you can easily also search for programs.
If you install a program with synaptic or apt-get the files will go to /var/cache/apt/archives, whether you cancel or not.
To see what is on your hard drive you can use konqueror (gui) or the du command in the terminal. See the last link.
Be careful about deleting "strange" files. You can use synaptic to see what is installed on your computer and get a short description of the program. To get info about a particular file use the commands:
apt-cache show name_of_file
apt-cache depends name_of_file
Good luck

INSTALLING SOFTWARE ON UBUNTU

The use of the Terminal in most cases is not needed as Ubuntu has the Synaptic Package Manager which allows you to easily install and remove software

Here is the Official Ubuntu Synaptic Package Manager Documentation
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto

If you do need to use the Terminal

Here is the Official Ubuntu Terminal Documentation
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

You can Copy and Paste commands

To install individually downloaded deb. files then Ubuntu has the GDebi Package Installer (built in to Ubuntu) which automatically starts up when you try to open a deb.file
