Hi

I will be watching this thread and the corresponding site with much 
interest since I am also thinking of setting up a home server with 
(k)ubuntu. If I can I will give positive advice and I think it is 
inappropriate to refute the man's effort with a mail only stating that 
it is unreadable. Perhaps the 'scammer' could have sent a private mail 
for addressing this problem. IMHO the site is very clear browsed with 
Konqueror.

I hope Brian will keep up his work and will inform us of his adventures.

Tx Brian
Alain
