setting country/location during VPS Installation
Hi, i'm from asia. I have a VPS in UK. My visitor will be from my home country in asia.
During installation, which country and timezone that i should choose? UK or my home country?
For 2 years, i choose my home country as location and timezone, and so far, there is no problems.
I just wondering.
The only minor drawback is the installation will set ubuntu repo to my home country which is not so fast from UK.
I just wondering if there is another things related to timezone/location.
Thanks

I prefer my own timezone, makes it easier when reading logs if you dont need to count the time difference.
You can always change the repo after the initial installation.
I always use UTC

Once you've set everything up to your fancy, have a look in the /etc/apt/sources.list file. You can get at it by using nano, or whatever your preferred text editor is.
