ubuntu

I have moved from Fedora 7 to Ubuntu 7.10. I got really bored of the bleeding edge that is Fedora. Bleeding edge is fine for a kickabout, but not good for a stable system.
I am running Ubuntu 7.10 as an SMTP mail host using postfix and horde for webmail.
The box is also my home router, so I can keep full control of what comes in and goes out.
I also run motion 3.2.9 and capture images from an Edimax 1500wg wifi camera. The results are logged to a MySQL database and I wrote my own web frontend in php to display the results. This project will soon be on sourceforge.

Stand by for some technical details which I will post here soon, for no other reason than to maintain a sort of changelog in case I have to do it all again!
