I wanted to give this a try but i see comments that are making me shy away since the only download i can find is for 10.04.01. looked at the debian howto also, but even those version numbers arent the same as in the tutorial
Why should it not work? There is even a tutorial for Ubuntu 10.04 at howtoforge, so do not use the debian howto. Use the UBuntu 10.04 howto. http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx-ispconfig-3 This does not matter when you use Ubuntu, as Debian is always downwards compatible with minor releases.
