Ubuntu Web Servers website

Posted by VinceDee on March 8, 2006 at 5:19pm

The Ubuntu Web Server website is a place where Ubuntu Linux server admins, new and experienced, can get information about, and discuss running, Linux-based servers.

I started the website as a response to an obvious need in the Ubuntu Linux community: While Ubuntu is the most popular and fastest growing Linux distribution, it's primarily been promoted as a desktop operating system...the (quite capable) server side of Ubuntu has been almost completely ignored by the organization.

So here it is, it's mostly a standard "Fancy" themed Drupal install with a few mods (Nice menu, weight, FCKEditor) and a couple of warts (I'm a newb web admin, so I still can't get some things right. Having problems running cron, can't get email to work reliably, having to manually update my RSS feeds) but traffic has been brisk, so it appears that it's satisfying a need:

If you have any suggestions or comments I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,

The theme is very nice. Great use of sIFR (although you should leave out the background box on the post titles...or just make it the same color as the background).

The one thing that throws me off is the animated GIF logo. *ack* Go with a static one, seriously.

hmm, I think I better change the logo

You're not the first to mention the neon sign logo, so I better change it.

I would LOVE to change the colors of those post titles, but I don't know where or how (they were default). If you can suggest where I might find the css entry I'd be very grateful.

EDIT: I changed the logo to an Ubuntu logo that is partially animated (it rotates for about a second, then stops). I think that will probably work.

Great idea. I think it will work out well.

One thing I don't like is the logo. Text is just a bit plain, even with the animated text. How about the ubuntu logo with a computer chassis? Just an idea.
