Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu User experience survey
Tried doing this in but it keeps telling me Looks like you have a question or two that still needs to be filled in. Can't see what I'm supposed to have missed. Any hints? Worked OK for me this am.

[ubuntu-uk] New business
Hello Everyone, Those of you who follow this list closely may remember I posted asking for advice on how to deal with customers data for my data recovery start up. I'm now up and running (well I've had some quotation requests) - I have a concern about getting locked up for not paying taxes or something else I've overlooked when I do eventually get that 'call'. Could anyone advise on what legally I need in place to start doing data recovery from home via a website taking the requests please? As before when I posted previously, I know this is off topic and I apologise, although the backbone of my set up is Ubuntu based, all the work is going to carried out on my Kubuntu laptop, and my site is served from Ubuntu server. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction before I end up being force fed porridge!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] New business
Dave, There is a lot of advice around for starting a business, just google, but the Inland Revenue web page is a fair start http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/businesses/tmastarting-up-in-business.shtml http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/businesses/tmastarting-up-in-business.shtmlWhen I started up 7 years, the inland revenue were very helpful , when I phoned them up a few things I didn't understand Graham -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Race Online 2012 - lets give EVERYONE buying, a second user PC a chance to try Linux.
Yes gaz has hit it on the head. We need government to back peoples right to share their broadband connection with their neighbours. It is against the small print of most broadband contracts I believe. However if a whole side of a street could share one ADSL line via wireless or ethernet through the back gardens it would make connecting the as people have rightly observed 'nearly free' PCs up to the net far more doable. As people get a bit more income/desire for speed they could invest in their own line, but keeping the local net as then everyone's connection could be redundant. This is what we need to get the Government to help with. They need to get a promise out of the broadband providers that people will not be disconnected for in effect becoming the first step in providing the net to their neighbours. What we can do is provide a way of doing this (like the OLPT (One Laptop per Child) project does) without it needing a resident network guru to keep it going. There are of course vested interests who will oppose this. If people share connections on a local level the Record Companies and Film Studious will have a much harder job hounding people for copyright infringements, especially if that sharing is done by open wireless links.

Pretty much anyone can get their hands on a PC capable of running a sensible Linux distro. The issue we keep coming across is the heavy recurring cost of broadband in the UK for low-income households. -- *Deluxe Technology Ltd* /Linux Consultant/ mhous...@deluxe-tech.co.uk mailto:mhous...@deluxe-tech.co.uk http://www.deluxe-tech.co.uk Mob: 07970 850961 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
