Once you've selected both the image file to use and the target SD card, you're ready 
to proceed. Click 
Flash!
 to begin the process of writing the image:

Now, Etcher will 
prepare the target with the source image file. The
 process can take 
anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes depending on the speed of your hardware:

Once Etcher is finished writing to the SD card, you can eject it from your computer 
and insert it into the Pi, which can be accessed remotely via SSH. When it finishes 
booting for the first time, you 
can log in and begin using it as you would any other 
Ubuntu Server installation (the username and password both default to 
ubuntu
). 
From there, you can create a new user for yourself, install applications, and 
experiment.
Summary
In this chapter, we covered a couple of different installation processes in great detail. 
As with most Linux distributions, Ubuntu Server is scalable and able to be installed 
on a variety of server types. Physical devices, VMs, and even the Raspberry Pi have 
versions of Ubuntu available. The process of installation was covered step by step, 
and you should now have an Ubuntu Server instance of your own to configure as 
you wish. Also in this chapter, we covered determining the role of your server, the 
process of creating bootable media, and a walk-through of setting up Ubuntu Server 
on a Raspberry Pi. You're now on your way to Ubuntu Server mastery.
In the next chapter, we'll show you how to manage users. You'll be able to create 
them, delete them, change them, and even manage password expiration and more. 
We will also cover permissions so that you can determine what your users are 
allowed to do on your server. See you there!
