‘uname -a’ gives you some useful info about kernel version, but if you’re looking for the specific version of Ubuntu that you have installed, try ‘cat /etc/issue’ which should include a line with the exact Ubuntu version.
Setting up Gitolite on Linux
This article has the definitive guide for setting up Gitolite on Linux from the source project from Github. I followed it step by step and what do you know, it all worked great.
To add new repos and users, pull down the gitolite-admin project from your newly created gitolite server:
git clone gitolite@your_server:gitolite-admin.git
Edit the conf/gitolite.conf file and follow the examples that are already there:
repo reponame
RW+ = username
Add the public key file for the user to the keydir dir (file name matching the username you just added to the gitolite.conf file, and then push back the changes:
git add . git commit -m "added new repos and users" git push origin master
To add an existing new project into the repo, cd into that project and add a new remote:
git remote add origin gitolite@your_server:project_name.git
where project_name matches a repo name that you added earlier to the gitolite.conf file.
Push it up to the repo:
git push origin master
You’re all set.
Checking Ubuntu version

Enabling SSL for Apache2 on Ubuntu
Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf – add:
LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so
Generate SSL certificates:
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/certificates-and-security.html
Add SSL config and 443 port to a new Virtual Host in apache2.conf – for example:
<VirtualHost *:443> ServerAdmin your_admin@email.com DocumentRoot /var/www/your_doc_root SSLEngine on SSLOptions +StrictRequire SSLCertificateFile path/to/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile path/to/server.key ServerName your.server.name DirectoryIndex index.php </VirtualHost>
Add a listen port on 443 to /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
NameVirtualHost *:443
