An African Word, meaning…

I am impressed! They say ‘Ubuntu’ is an African word, meaning “Humanity to Others”. I think it means: “This OS is Awesome!!” Anyway.. My server is back up and running with Ubuntu, and I must say everything works as expected and then some. It took us a few hours of poking around and getting various config files set up, but now everything works. It has no GUI, but we installed webmin, which is seriously extremely cool. No more hunkering on the floor staring at my 9″ monochrome monitor to configure things. I can now log into the server from any client machine and use a nice easy to use, yet powerful web interface for everything. It now plays the roles of Samba server, dhcp server, router, switch, file server, WINS server and print server very well. All my clients can talk to it, and to each other, by IP address and hostname. I am very happy with the results, and will probably be putting Kubuntu on my laptop machine very soon. Thanks again, Fred!
