In general - there are many forums and online zines dedicated for reviewing and hosting users war stories. I'd take the opinions on them with a pinch of salt (could be sponsored opinions on them) but they might also point to options you wouldn't know about otherwise.

I was looking at crazydomains.com.au. Any experience with them? Google for reviews about them, I don't have personal experience but found many horror stories (now that I think - maybe on the whirlpool forums too). They are fantastically cheap for buying domains. But for hosting, their mail servers are frequently blacklisted. A relative had his business on their for a year, and the hassle of blacklisting wasnt worth the few dollars savings. I have a VPS with crucial.com.au, they are quite good and competitively priced.

I've been using WebCity (webcity.com.au) for quite a while and have been very satisfied with them. Their Business Pro plans are good value.

If you want to set your own up on a CPANEL Linux service - then I can recommend Ans Communications, who have hosted the Ramin Communications website for a few years now. http://ans.com.au/ I craft my own HTML. If you want a special setup you could discuss your requirements with them...as I am not sure whether they do or don't provide the higher level services. I know of a sites which has installed moodle on an ANS hosted website. Though they are responsible for their own updates.

[SLUG] Printer problem ubuntu/kubuntu 9.X and 10.x
I have an old Canon BJ230 ( which takes A3 paper, hence the reason for keeping it) that works fine under Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.x. It is a parallel Serial port printer that I have connected to my PC by way of a serial-to-usb converter as the PC doesnt have a serial port. No setup problems with Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.x versions, but none of the newer Ubuntu/Kubuntu versions 9.x or 100.x even see it. Ideas/suggestions please, other than getting a Serial Port card. Cant find anything by Googling or checking Forums.

oh yes please Regards, Ashley elliott-brennan wrote: As the coordinator for the SLUG multi-media BOF, Ashley's post has made me wonder if there is any Blender benders out there who would be willing to give some presentations on using Blender. I have used Blender very little and have no real grasp of it (though I have seen what it can do and I'm very impressed). So, is there anyone 'out there' who would be willing to give us a couple of Intro to Blender demos???
