Why I'm Here

I don't have a house yet but I feel the need to plan for the future, and I can definitely utilizing the functionality that LinuxMCE offers. My programing experience isn't anything formal like a degree or even classes, but over time I have picked up bits and pieces from writing scripts and from web design experience. I hope I can contribute to the community in a meaningful way soon.

My Development/Testing Setup

Intel Severboard SE7501HG2 12 GB DDR 266 ECC Registered RAM

The only thing that i would like to ad to this system would be a Nvidia PCI graphics card.

On the server I run Oracle Virtual Box, with 3 environments loaded: LinuxMCE 0810 core, LinuxMCE 1004 core, LinuxMCE 0810 MD (working on this at time of writing).

Things that I have learned

For my test 10.04 setup I have made a local copy of the instillation files from deb.linuxmce.org using the firefox extension downloadthemall and put them in my apache2 web server directory. Then, after i run pre-install-from-repo.sh i edit the sources.list and change all the deb.linuxmce.org to the ip address of my web server. This massively decreases the amount of data that you need to download, thus decreasing installation time significantly.

If anything i say here is not clear feel free to shoot me an email.
