Remote Desktop

by dave＠staffslug.org.uk

Hello, Question, I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and I would like to remote desktop to it and was wondering what the best approach would be? I've tried VNC, but it's just a black screen at the moment, so I think I might have messed something up there. Anyway, any suggestions are gratefully received. Dave

April Meeting - Monday 9th April 2012 (Stafford)

by Adam Egan

Hi all, Due to the poor response on the stoke-based meet, I've decided to switch it back to Stafford. I must admit, I was really surprised given the enthusiasm we've had in the past for a North Staffs meet. As usual, if everyone could make their intentions known by signing/replying to this email. April's meeting is a 'social' meeting at venue below: The Yard Espleys Yard Staffordshire Stafford ST16 2EZ ======================================================= #Can Attend Adam E #Might Attend #Not this time ============================================================ Adam - Message a bit short? Here's why... http://emailcharter.org/

Staffordshire, proprietary software, & EU procurement rules

by Richard Smedley

"Staffordshire County Council had just published a tender for a contract worth up to \A328 million for a three year contract divided into 16 lots: " servers; storage; ICT spares; workstations; portable devices; Apple iOS devices; Microsoft software; network infrastructure components; managed wireless; cabling components; data cabinets; peripherals; support partnership; curriculum software; network management; and bundled items" Sources: <http://www.guardian.co.uk/government-computing-network/2012/mar/22/ipads-...> <http://www.opensourceconsortium.org/content/view/192/89/> <http://www.essex.gov.uk/Business-Partners/Supplying-Council/Documents/110...> Aside from illegally specifying particular proprietary software, this is rather telling of localgov profligacy: "The most expensive lot will be for workstations, which will cost between \A36.4m and \A312.8m, according to the notice" <hint>LTSP, Skegness Grammar School</hint> - Richard
