I know that calibre runs under ubuntu 10 and up. I am not sure about 9.

Regarding installing on your vserver, do you actually run a GUI on it (X Windows)? If so, that must be incredibly slow. If not, then are you planning on using only the command line utilities and the server?
ok, ty for the tip. i install Ubuntu 10.04LTS minimal on my server right now, maybe calibre runs after the installation. no i dont use a gui, i want to use the command line.

edit:
ok now i got another error message:
