I installed hardy server (8.04 not 8.04.1) and then added ubuntu-desktop
and xubuntu-desktop on top and did the standard updates. That is all
that is currently on the drive right now, no added configurations. I did
find that I had to chown on the ~.Xauthority file (sudo chown
username:usergroup .Xauthority) to be able to do anything via ssh. The
file by default is set to root. Why this occurs when it is in your home
directory I'm not sure. It may be security issue & I suspect one that
Oli is familiar with... maybe he can assist.

It's a test drive and secured within my lan, so I'm happy to test/blow
up anything on that one :-)
