Along the process Benny has met people who can help him to help others and is also a shining example of how the experienced Lubunteers can help across the whole community, which generates Lubuntu so much good will it cannot be measured. My 'kidnapping' of Lubunteers is a way of paying back the people across many teams who have helped behind the scenes on many, many things and is an absolute win win for all the teams they come into contact with. Congratuations Benny, I know you will be an outstanding advocate for Lubuntu, I've heard nothing but praise for you from everyone I've come into contact with - There is no doubt that you are a shining example of the *buntu ethos.

There are also more things that can crash and hang the system. Fewer complications make a better server. Depends what the server is used for. In smaller businesses a modern server really doesn’t get 'hammered' that much. Personally, I'd tend to agree, but people coming across from Windows expect a GUI on a machine. A lot of modern Windows users never ever even look at the command line have no idea how to use one - so a server that boots to nothing but a command line is going to be seen as scary and intimidating. For the smaller business, with out a computer expert, a GUI is what they need and why Windows Servers are used. I know one business where this software may be just the thing they’re looking for. They’ve been using OOo, Firefox and Thunderbird, on XP, for some time. They’ve been using Ubuntu on one machine for a few months and are considering moving all machines to it, so an Ubuntu based server with a GUI would compliment their IT needs very nicely. Zentyal makes a decent effort in this direction. A modern server will have gigs of RAM, a several-gigaHertz CPU and a graphics card, because you simply can't build a machine without these things any more. They picked a really lightweight desktop and stripped it right out to put Zentyal together, and that seems a good choice to me. That is basically the spec of the server they have, overkill for what it does I would like it if it were an optional install, to be honest, but it worked fine on a couple of test machines for me. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
