# Additional props to Elvis as I'm pulling some steps from his installation process which you can find here:

# START HERE <------------------------------------------------------------

# Download the server install image, I chose the 32 bit version 
    http://releases.ubuntu.com/quantal/ubuntu-12.10-server-i386.iso

# Create the  Install USB drive
# Note I'm using a Mac and a USB drive ( 4GB ) to use as the install disc for Ubuntu,
# if you are using another OS please see those installation instructions
    http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx

# Here is a good guide to follow if you have never setup a Ubuntu Server before
    http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.10-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p2

# The only two things I would look out for as I've had trouble in the past are 
1- Select "No Automatic Updates"
    ( Screen shot if you need ) http://static.howtoforge.com/images/perfect_server_ubuntu_12.10_apache2_bind_dovecot_ispconfig_3/29.png

2- Only select "OpenSSH Server"
    ( Screen shot if you need ) http://static.howtoforge.com/images/perfect_server_ubuntu_12.10_apache2_bind_dovecot_ispconfig_3/30.png

# Once the server is up and running you need to install some additional packages

    sudo apt-get install apache2 -y

# Find out what address your router assigned  

    ifconfig

# Example output:

    eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr  
              inet addr:10.0.1.10  Bcast:10.0.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
              ...

# Edit the network settings to use a STATIC IP address.  

    sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

# Comment out the DHCP entry but adding the pound sign # in front of each line
# Before:

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp

# After

    #auto eth0
    #iface eth0 inet dchp

# Configure your STATIC IP address.
# OSX Example:

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.0.1.111
        netmask 255.255.255.0
	      broadcast 10.0.1.255
	      network 10.0.1.0
	      gateway 10.0.1.1
	      dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

# Windows/Linux Example:

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.69.96
	      netmask 255.255.255.0
	      broadcast 192.168.69.255
	      network 192.168.69.0
	      gateway 192.168.69.1
	      dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

#Quote from the site:

"in your iPhone 4S's WiFi Settings, select the blue arrow icon next to your active WiFi connection. Remember, you must be connected to the same local network as the Siri Proxy running on your computer. Tap on the DNS section, and edit the DNS entry to point to the IP address of your Siri Proxy server. See the video at 12:59 for more details."
