I'm new to this, but think a UK forum would help no end, because of the very marked differences we experience in systems and pricing here, as well as the total overload of the current forum.

Scibuntu is Ubuntu Linux for scientists and science students.
Scibuntu is not just another Linux distribution. It is a script that
adds scientific programs and other convinient tools to the plain

About the users of ubuntuforums.org, as of writing, there are 188,524
registered users, 442 members and 1888 guests online.
I'm sure adding a link in my signature would definitely draw quite a
bit of attention to it. How is the website coming along btw?
I have written to my local MP (John Hemming), via the website
http://www.writetothem.com/ , and he has written to the Director General
of the BBC.
So we know we can get some support here. He has promised to let me know
when he gets a reply and forward it to me, so I'll send you a copy of that.

My experience with forums, is that you create them and no one uses
them, My LUG had one and no one liked the change from mailing list to
forums so it never got used
