nikoncan someone point me to a good howto for creating a wiki page?06:02
Flannelnikon: besides the Wiki Docs?06:03
Madpilotnikon, guidelines for the Ubuntu wikis, or general ones?06:03
nikonare wiki pages html or another type of code06:03
Madpilotthey become HTML06:04
Madpilotbut wiki markup is not (quite) html when you type it up06:04
Flannelnikon: wiki markup is more like the markup flavors web forums use, where they convert their own markup to html markup to viewers, but not editors06:05

poningruhey06:06
rylasasinhello heres my question06:06
poningruok so legal wise you are in the clear06:06
poningruas in as long as you dont change much of anything you are good to go06:06
rylasasinsuppose I have a company that builds computers (local)06:06
Madpilotrylasasin, go ahead and sell it, is the basic answer ;)06:06
poningrutechnically speaking we can help with that as well06:06
Flannelrylasasin: you'll probably want to check out the oem install06:07
rylasasinok like is there a price limit on it or do I have to follow any set of special procedures or what?06:07
poningrurylasasin: as in there is a seller option under alternate cd06:07
poningrurylasasin: nope06:07
nikoni kindof understand...so is there a beginners guide to wiki markup06:07
rylasasinso we could sell ubuntu at any price we please?06:07
poningrurylasasin: there is an oem install option in the alternate cd06:07
Madpilotnikon, there are some help pages on the Ubuntu wiki; just a minute, I'll dig them out for you06:07
rylasasinI'll have to check that out06:07
Madpilotrylasasin, whatever the market will bear06:07
Flannelnikon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnEditing06:08
poningrurylasasin: yep whatever price you want06:08
nikonthank you flannel06:08
MadpilotFlannel, thanks, was just going for that URL06:08
Flannelnikon: or, I suppose https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpForBeginners is more appropriate06:08
rylasasinah ok. I'm going to present a computer to my boss tommorow with ubuntu on it, so I thought I'd want to know the legal info on that ahead of time06:10
Madpilotrylasasin, the licenses that Ubuntu is released under a properly Free, ie you can use them commercially or whatever06:11
Flannelrylasasin: the OEM mode will allow you to set up ubuntu, and still let the end users set up their final user stuff (username, password, locale, etc) on first boot06:12
rylasasinok06:12
poningrurylasasin: there is a legal page on the ubuntu website06:13
rylasasinok second question (not sure if this goes here but) suppose we do start selling it. we want to make sure the user has the right drivers and updates when they get thier pc06:14
rylasasinfor web sufing and whatnot06:14
poningruok...06:14
rylasasinwhat are some recommended ones? (I know I cant get YTMND to work with sound on some pages cause I dont' know what I need to install. flash is one but it also uses quicktime)06:15
Flannelrylasasin: quicktime? no.  mp3s, yes.06:15
rylasasinits basicly looping MP3s and WAVs on YMTND06:16
rylasasintry a page at www.ytmnd.com and tell me what drivers I need to make this site work. also newgrounds etc06:18
rylasasinoh its also animated gifs... anything special we need for that?06:19
Flannelrylasasin: a GUI ;)06:19
rylasasinlol06:19
rylasasinI mean somthing thats NOT included with the initial install06:20
rylasasinand can we include wine, XGL, Beryl, etc. with our machines?06:20
poningruyep06:25
rylasasinalright good :)06:26
rylasasincause yeah cause I realise a lot of the stuff we include with our builds (Nero, powerdvd, adobe acrobat, intell drivers etc) aren't going to be necessary with any sort of ubuntu builds I think06:27
rylasasinbut it would require a whole new set of things06:27
MadpilotProbably the final version: http://www.warbard.ca/temp/Ubuntu-rough-thumb.png06:27
Burgundaviacool06:27
FlannelMadpilot: still hating the rest of us!06:29
