Could you not sell off ubuntu merchandise? Make t-shirts, cds with support by

months support(enough time for them to setup their machine, install printers
etc) then that money could be reinvested into advertising and eve

Cool :-D This sounds like a very admirable project. Has anyone got any
ideas about how this could be funded? How does the loco usually get
cash for exhibiting etc
This is not an actual proposal but, while those unfortunate people with

Ah but most people who work in IT only use Windows Servers and
Desktops so I'm guessing it'd be a natural extension of that for them
to buy into a Windows Home Server for their backups, DVDs etc ;-)

Is this a joke?
Ubuntu with webmin (if you want to be more serious) on it or running gnome
with some utilities would be a hell of a lot better than this.
This is a very basic server, something you should be able to run on an old
box not running a new machine.

Hi,
We are currently looking to release 'final' Monday 22nd October. Ther
DeVeDe is indeed very slow. I use it quite a lot, but I have come to
the point where I am writing my own simple script to do the same job.
I can't say yet that it will be any faster... video transcoding
involves a great amount of processing. However I do have this feeling
that DeVeDe takes a lot l
devede is indeed slow..know of anything faster that will convert to iso?
I will try a different media...
when using the cd/dvd creator default program i get an error message along the
lines of " unexpected handle."
well handle something anyway!

Be that as it may, in order to read the video it will be necessary to
convert the .avi file into .iso file. If in doubt look it up on Google.
