Hosting a web site is not a problem, it would be using LAMP and ubuntu
server. http://lubuntu.net/ uses a decent web site system, maybe see
if that application would be okay. http://wordpress.org/showcase/

Hello Everyone
For those of you who can code, or can host the website, or
generate graphics, then please checkout the launchpad page for
this project. A while back, I created a code branch for this,
which you can checkout using
bzr branch lp:startubuntu
Feel free to upload any code you feel is good for the website, or
any graphics you think would be useful (for those of you who
understand web design, feel free to modify the html and
stylesheets for this). Unfortunately, as C# is my strongest
language right now, I have begun to code it in that, and so a
server hosting it would either have to run WIndows, or run mono.
However, this is only a temporary setback, as I am learning other
languages as well. Feel free to create a new branch in launchpad
to create the website using another coding language.
As for who I am - I am Spider (of course that is not my real
name), and am 15 years of age. I currently reside in New Zealand,
having emigrated from India.
Thanks
Spider

Hi guys.. I'm Krishnan
Sorry for the late reply.. Just coming back from work
I'm from India.. 23 years old and no background in computers
I'm a budding charted accountant and started using Ubuntu 2
years back.
Lubuntu was my very first distro and since then I haven't
looked back at all.. I'm so crazily in love with Ubuntu that I
spent nearly a month getting tally and office to work in
Ubuntu flawlessly.. Well it is still flawed as I'm still
running that damn tally in educational mode:p
I've spread the word on Ubuntu (particularly xubuntu as it is
somewhat tailor made for older machines) in my office and to
my friends.. They were very interested.. Infact I'm gonna
install it on their machines over the weekend:D :D
I'll be very glad to assist in any way I can.. Ubuntu needs to
be spread.. And we are gonna do it
Have a nice day folks.. it's tax season here so I'll not be
available most of this month.. I'll compensate for that next
month surely:)

Hi,
My name is Richard and I am from Martin, Slovakia. I
started using
Ubuntu 3 years ago ( 10.04). I was always interested in
open source
and free software, so experimenting with Linux was natural
progress. I
convinced and persuaded in to using Ubuntu some friends,
family
members ( also my father reguarly talks to his colleagues
in work
about Linux and Ubuntu) and all of them find Linux as full
featured
alternative experience to Windows.
I am general editor for news portal( coypright problems,
piracy,
politics and stuff), so I can write articles about this,
also I am
admin of FB page dedicated to Ubuntu in my country and I
am moderator
for Ubuntu website in my country ( unfortunately, owner of
domain and
server shuted down website, so I can do nothing for now).
So i can
help in this way.
Thanks
Richard
