Thanks webman - Passed on the video link and he's busy at work sorting it (Well after a coffee!) And thanks everyone else for the feedback!

Our web developer (After pulling out huge clumps of hair!) finally just gave up and uploaded the website without waiting for staff to 'finish' their content (He's only been waiting 2 years after all...) Would be great for us to get some feedback from you guys or if your interested in having a look here it is: http://www.fairfax.bham.sch.uk/ Cheers

Some interesting stuff there. Thanks for sharing

We have a 4 cup caffetiere and drink nothing but fresh columbian and peru coffee! We dont site around drinking coffee all day, we're thinking

Page still not loading for me not sure if its a issue on our side though as the net provided by BGfl hasnt been exactly reliable lately... Edit: Tested via 3G on my phone and still gettting a 504 error.

If you could get any errors that output through the upgrade it could help alot (However re-reading it would be hard to attach a screen to the cloud ) Im sure i have read about some issues upgrading to 9.10 via ssh on the ubuntu forums let me see if i can dig up the posts again.. Edit: Btw could you telnet into it at all? This any help too? http://alestic.com/2009/10/how-not-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-910-karmic-on-amazon-ec2

Mine is @painejake

Can you telnet onto the box at all? Or are you in any position to attach a screen and see what error messages are cropping up?

'Apparently' they have supported x64 for a while now. Or some someone from SMIS told me. Never had enough faith in him to try it though

Yeah I thought so too :-)

Haha! Maybe there is something big they want help with coming up soon?

I was thinking about something simular and found EyeOS. Its a online web-based operating system quite a exciting project from my point of view EyeOS - Cloud Computing Operating System | Web Desktop - RIA Framework - Web Office - your files and applications everywhere I've setup a demo if you want to have a look of version 1.9 (Just a standard installation) Welcome to The Cloud I going to look at a LDAP plugin for it over the next week or so and see if it can be used for staff as a desktop away from home accessing their documents and SIMS via EyeOS. Hope this doesnt sound like a sales pitch

Think i have a load too if anyone wants to give me a PM

Thanks for the input. Always get the feeling Link2ICT just want you off the phone never providing a definite answer.

Just wanted to know if any other large schools are having what seems to be a caching issue from the service provided by BGFL/Link2ICT? After we called them apparently all large schools are having this issue however just wanted other views/opinions and details -- Jay

Afaik its not malware just rubbish that clutters up. Under the same sort of catagory as smilie packs for messenger. So just spamware, saying that though alot of sites class it as malware. Anyway havent you tried this yet? Linky

I love what youve done with the place!.. Thanks thats a great background - Ive been searching shares all day today for cracks and torrents to tell people off about!

If your using and plan on using mainly windows servers then id go for the .net platform. Very robust and easy to pickup.

Why not go with a 5770 instead? DX11 support as well as more efficient power consumption and faster clock speeds

What version of Windows are you using? WIth both Vista and Windows 7 for me it was auto detected. and a dvi or vga splitter is all thats needed.

Installed my copy of Home premium last night and i love it!

I believe if you extract the .iso offline installer that contains a .msi. Been a while since i used it though. Heres a link (Offline image is at the bottom of the page) http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/default.aspx#webInstall

Yeah id love to see what its all about not to mention pass on the 'crazy' to other edugeeks

Its a load of rubbish like every other 'concept' screenshot that is 'leaked' every now and then. Remember the vista 'concept' screenshots?

I go with OpenDNS
