Hi Israel and everyone,

While StartUbuntu Community didn't yet decide whether ToriOS could be one of the alternatives we promote within StartUbuntu or not, I'd like to have StartUbuntu Banner and the Wiki Page of StartUbuntu on our website and I hope yo(u agree with me :)

It is for marketing or promotion purposes for both. StartUbuntu has no website. But whether we like it or not, ToriOS supposed to help the users with NON-PAE CPU and give them something that works. Many machines running Windows XP are NON-PAE with less love and support by FOSS - AFAIK, Bodhi Linux and Crunchbang are the only two available options.

Anyway, needless to go deep into technical details now, I really appreciate if we would add the banner:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu/Artwork#Banners_of_StartUbuntu

I guess using the 900 banner is better.

Not sure which is better? clicking on the banner to go to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu or add that as a link somewhere next to the banner?
I leave this for you to decide :D

I hope you guys agree about this idea :)

Thank you!

Should this be at the top? Or bottom of the home page? I have put it at the top, as that seemed to be the best place for it....

I am also trying out different ideas for certain elements... so please be sure to REFRESH your browser when you go (Ctrl+F5... not just reload F5), so somethings may be drastically different.

@Ali... I have been thinking about CMS, and the pro's and con's.... and At this point, I think it would be better to simply edit the HTML. This will provide something simple, and be less vulnerable to defacement/hacking/etc... If no php/JavaScript is on a page, there is nothing to hack, except the server (which hopefully the host will be diligent to apply security updates).

I have also tried to fix the 鳥 to be supported with an openfontlibrary font, called funky fuji.
So please test that to make sure it is visible.

I would like to keep the site completely scalable from one stylesheet... but I have implemented a second stylesheet for the time being.... so anyhow... test away ToriOS Team!
