Howdy,
My name is Jonathan Lindsey. I am currently employed as a Network Engineer. I have been using Linux/OpenBSD for many years. I used to run my own webserver, dns servers spread around the country, and mail servers. All of which were Linux based. I have used Linux professionally for several years. I used to work for an ISP that uses Linux for a majority of their servers.
Current LUG projects.
I currently have one project with the lug, it is to create a Virtual Box Ubuntu Virtual Machine for our install fests. I want to create it and upgrade it and provide it at the install fest. Our problem is that the install of ubuntu in a virtual machine can take a couple hours and we would like to have that time to help people with Linux and/or give them an introduction to the operating system, and how to use it. Another project has spun off of this, our own installation of Ubuntu, installing the basic packages natively, for NMSU required classes.
I created an Ubuntu Virtual box image and updated it a week before the install fest. I tested importing it with Don, and ran the import off the hard drive just fine. Durring the install fest we burnt a couple of dvd's with the import files and the executable. A problem arose when we found that the image would not import directly off the cd. Copying the files from dvd to hard disk is the proper way to do this.
Ubuntu 32 bit is very popular inside the virtual box, almost everyone who showed up to the installfest wanted it. It might be beneficial to post a link to the install files on the wiki.
