Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Hi All

My name is Robin Shepheard and I am a network admin for a smallish
firm of stockbrokers.

I have been using Linux for about 10 years and as my main OS for about
5 years.

I have a very limited programming experience (well I have written a
few scripts in perl to make my life easier) but I am by no means a
developer.

My main field of skills is in the networking area, getting a network
up and running and maintaining it.

I currently use Linux for a proxy server in the office and for a file
server, but I am in the process of using Edubuntu to provide a thin
client system to provide access to our citrix published applications.
It is not quite as mad as it first sounds as it means I set up the
Edubuntu server and then all we need to do when we add a new client is
do a network boot, rather than have to do a full install. Yes I could
use PXE to install Linux to each desktop but it means I still have to
update the client software or re-install after every software update,
using Edubuntu this is not the case.

I would like to lend a hand with the Edubuntu project if I can.
Although I have been using Linux for a fair while I have not felt that
I could make much of a contribution in the past. My view has now quite
obviously changed and I believe Edubuntu to be a very worthwhile
project that I would like to donate some of my time to.

I think that I would probably be of most use helping with the
documentation or with bug testing, but I am open to trying anything if
someone can spare a little while with hand-holding on tasks I am not
familiar with.

Any suggestions as to how I can make myself useful would be most welcome

Cheers

Robin Shepheard

PS Thanks to laserjock for the friendly greetings and advice and
