I am about to set up a Joomla site for the school and was going to purchase the Joomla Shack template, Is this template available for download yet, so I can upload it to my Joomla and have a play?

Just my luck there I will keep checking here anyway so if anyone has anything to offer in the next few weeks (I've got around 2/3 weeks before I'm out on the street so to speak!) then feel free to post. P.S. I make good cups of tea Is Barnsley any good to you? If so drop me an email and i'll see what i can do. Im Senior Curriculum Leader for ICT at a high school so should be able to help.

We use OpenMind cost 1k for site.

Thanks for all the information so far. I have already emailed pteppic and am going to look into the others now.

Original question still stands - any recomendations on specification and where to purchase a server?

I understand what you are saying and can see how it would be easier to manage etc. I still need to spec up a server and as i have said above as the funding is there then i want it over specified to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible.

I realise it will need to be a hefty server, but the money is available so i would rather get the spec which can cope with a seperate moodle for each dept, than set up a cheap server which can't cope later on.

All i basically want is a server which i can install multiple instances of moodle on for the departments in school. I would also like these to be accessed outside of school via the internet. Linux or Windows doesn't really matter as long as the server does what i want!

I'm looking to purchase a server which can be located in my school and used as an Intranet, (a moodle for each department) and also used as an Internet server to allow home / school access etc. Ideally this would connect to our existing Win 2000 curriculum and admin servers I like the look of a Karoshi install and am looking for a company around the Yorkshire area who could install a server for me that will do what i want. I'm the IT teacher so excuse the lack of technical knowledge Any advice on what i should be looking to purchase would be appreciated especially any companies to avoid. Would also be interested in likely costs.
