Sounds good! One tip...
I'd consider Ubuntu 8.04.1 server edition, instead of 8.10. Nothing like a rock-steady LTS for a server...

If you need support for very new hardware: on January 22, version 8.04.2 will be released. Not only will this point release contain all accumulated updates until that date, but it will also have support for new hardware:

Key quote:
"We also committed, for the first time, to a regular set of point releases for 8.04 LTS. These will start three months after the LTS, and be repeated every six months until the next LTS is out. These point releases will include support for new hardware as well as rolling up all the updates published in that series to date. So a fresh install of a point release will work on newer hardware and will also not require a big download of additional updates."

Have fun and happy new year!

Pjotr.
