    Hello Phil.
    A ubuntu server is fine then. Will take a little more configuration,
    but it is fine. Btw, if you were looking for windows server, then I
    have a DreamSpark licence for it (both 2012 and 2008, and both
    datacenter and enterprise editions), along with SQL server and Team
    Foundation Server.

    I will contact you regarding this a little further down the stage
    once I am deeper into the code for the website. Feel free to grab
    the website off of the startubuntu page on ubuntu.

    Also, would you have a mysql setup? For any good website, a database
    backend is needed...


    Thanks

        Ali has a ubuntu server (VM on my dedicated server) onto which
        we can most likely install mono for you. I don't have any

        windows VM).

            Hello All
            I am SbSpider, and I started using Ubuntu Desktop a few
            years ago, because my laptop then did not have the specs
            required to run even the starter edition of Windows 7 stably
            - and it was a beautiful decision. Now, with a more
            powerfull laptop, I use windows 8 and dual boot into Linux
            Mint, for the more programming and collaborative based
            projects, while running my own Ubuntu Server installation.

            I hope to spread knowledge of Ubuntu by joining this team,
            as I found it a great shift from my then not so stable
            system - and hence help others.

            Extra bits of information:
            To help, as I can not help by word of mouth, I am going to
            be helping design a website for this project. I have already
            begun, and am making my website in ASP.NET <http://ASP.NET>
            (C# code behind). Therefore, if you know the C# language,
            HTML, Javascript, or any other script, then please contact
            me. You can also grab the code off of launchpad by using "
            bzr pull lp:startubuntu ". If you can do graphic design,
            then please add the photos to the website as well, or
            contact me, as I can then add the graphics to the website.
            Also, if you can host the website (aka run your own server,
            preferably a Windows Server due to the C# code behind, but a
            Ubuntu Server running mono may work as well), then that
            would be helpful - my own machine is out for a while, and
            also, having multiple machines would allow for load balancing.


            Thanks

                Hello and Welcome to StartUbuntu Project and Thank You
                for joining this team!

                I will try my best to keep this short and simple. Now,
                we do have 33 members and this is really nice but we
                seek quality over quantity and I am sure everyone is
                here to help and contribute to this project :)

                I have seen so many new names joining which I've never
                met or known before. So, allow me to introduce myself.

                Communities and this should tell you more about me:

                I believe all of you have read StartUbuntu Wiki Page
                (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu), obviously,
                otherwise, you wouldn't be here :P

                This is an introduction email. I'd like and looking
                forward to get to know all of you (some over here, I do
                know them more than I do know myself :D but others don't
                so I appreciate if they could be so kind and write few
                lines about them, please).

                So, please, all what you need to do is:

                1- Hit Reply All to this Email
                2- Introduce yourself
                3- Your short story about Linux (how and when you
                started, etc)
                4- The purpose of joining this team - what will you do
                to this team?
                5- Anything else that you would like to add :)

                So, let's get started :)

                I think, I have done my part :P my Wiki Page should tell
                you everything about me ;)

                Now, your turn!

                Thank you for joining and it is a pleasure to be with
                you all :)

Hello all,

My name is Marti van Lin, from Maastricht the Netherlands and my handle is ML2MST (the callsign of my previous CB Packet Radio Station).

I started using GNU/Linux in 1999, bought SuSE Linux 6.1 Professional back then. In 2006 I started using, and more important Alpha- and Beta testing Ubuntu.

I helped solving problems with Xorg on Laptops, by reporting the problem "no screens found" and attaching the output of some diagnose programs (lshw etc.), during the Jaunty Jackalope development cycle.

I signed up to the Startubuntu initiative because it builds on Lubuntu IIRC, which is a much better choice then "stock" Ubuntu for Windows XP converts IMHO.

I Propose a (optional) Windows XP Luna Look alike theme, which is a collection of existing bits and pieces from Gnome-look and Box-look. Namely:

1. GTK2 theme;
2. Icon theme;
3. Openbox (window) theme.

Having a common look and feel *might* help these long term Windows XP users (which sticked to XP because they obviously dislike change) to switch to Ubuntu.

With kind regards,
