The steps for this tutorial are from [http://dagolav.prestegarden.com/installing-ubuntu-on-the-hp-mediasmart-ex490/ here]. To continue you will require:
- * An HP MediaSmart server - * An extra PC - * A spare hard drive - * An existing network - * An SSH solution, like [[Key-based SSH Logins With Putty|Putty]] - * Ubuntu 12.04, the server version

{{Code|sudo reboot now -h}}
