Installing Ubuntu Server in VMware Workstation

This went a lot better for me that Ubuntu Desktop. I followed the YouTube video instructions and it was pretty easy. In the beginning it mentioned something about the VM Workstation clocking my CPU speed to be so many MHz but Windows reports that it is a different number of Mhz and this will make the clock lag or something. I should have written it down. I clicked ok and then I got another message saying that it couldn't connect to a virtual device floppy and asked if I wanted it to attempt to connect to this drive every time I powered on, and I said no. After that, every thing went smoothly. I chose to install the LAMP and OpenSSH servers. I then tried out some commands at the end wehen it rebooted and I logged on for the first time. From my home directory, if I enter "ls", I only get one file (named "megan" - my username). I wonder if this is right.
