Ubuntu Game server setup

[tushar]

Dear All,

I have decided to setup, Dedicated game server on Ubuntu Server Edition 10.04 64bit with GUI gnome. I also heard CentOS is best distro for server available right now is that true? 

1- How do i install GUI with no extra features like Evolution, Mail Client, Game etc.
2- LAMP server for Game panel installation.
3- Where do i upload my 6.7 GB Call Of Duty4 game folder from my system faster in single large file, so that i can download it from remote ubuntu server. (Free service only).
4. Good VNC to access from login window.

For #4 I would suggest the free VNC Viewer. I am running lion server on a hackintosh and use VNC viewer to access different user profiles via vnc without disturbing active users at the server itself.
