Hi All I recall from a posting a little while ago that Henrick suggested setting up a Server from the normal desktop Live CD to ensure that the system had all the accessability options built. Over the Xmas period I hope to do the same on my home system, and once set up it will be a headless server - ie one without monitor, keyboard or mouse and quitely sitting in the background doing what it must.
My questions are: 1. The PC to be used as the server has a small HD with the storage being provided on external USB drives. I want to try and keep the build down to the bare minimum to allow space for the extras - like LAMP - to be installed and run successfully. The question here is can I remove the Gnome desktop but maintain the screen reading abilities for when I need to directly use the server, ie not remotely administer it from another PC on my network? 2. I want to have the ability to show off Ubuntu on guest machines as they connect to my network. I don't necessarily want to give them Live CDs but thought it would be easier to run it something along the lines of a thin client from the server - can this be done without too much hacking? In particular one of my daughters have a school provided laptop which has been locked down by the removal of the CD drive and she quite likes Ubuntu so I would like to give her the ability to connect to my network, still have access to the files on her laptop, but run Ubuntu instead of XP - 3. A more general question. Is the Official Ubuntu Guide going to be re-issued for 6.10? And if so will it be available as a PDF file (please?)? Perhaps, some clever people could set up the book so that it automatically gets updates at the same time as the main system. I know that there is extensive help within the OS but it is always nice to have a reference available without having to boot a Ubuntu machine up specifically for that task (I have one machine which is Ubuntu at the moment and one which is XP). Cheers Ian
