Hello Mike:
You have an X problem.
Your X is missconfigured and it will not start.
Your message is brief and I am guessing, but you can validate my statement
by looking at your computer booting:
if you see the screen "flashing" several times, that means that X is
unsuccessfully trying to start

This may be a because you're using Compiz. I thought there was a setting
in there for the number of workspaces, but now I don't see it. You can
try setting it directly with gconf-editor. In 8.10, navigate to

I installed and tested out Google Openmeetings today. It does work, but
not near as slick as other browser based collaboration tools like WebEx,

You might just benefit from installing awstats, which will give you a nice log
platform.
Awstats can be a security risk, but in order to really see what's happening,
awstats is great.
Your logs can be heavily configured in many ways, and it's going to depend on
which LAMP platform you built a

although you would thing that they would shut these options down by

Well, the sad fact is that _any_ machine will kick over and barf it's guts
under distributed attacks; it just depends on what it does after the green
slime clears..
Also, it really helps if you run one that won't take WRT, or only runs on an
