Hi,
I decided setting up a new site for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu and all Ubuntu distros and software.
Can you please give a screenshot and a small description of it?
Any screenshot is highly apreciated.
If you have any suggestions for a site please let me know.

And for the second part, do you know any news and article sources, how-to's that I could use?

Thank you!

It looks pretty nice. Screenshot taken with FF3 on Hardy.

I'd suggest finding some FAQs, HOWTOS, and such, and then either linking to them or mirroring them (preferably both, with due credits wherever possible). http://tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/ might be a good place to start.

Thank You for your answer.

I don't know if this was a misunderstanding. I would like some screenshots of your running applications and a small description so I could create a gallery with those.

Please excuse my English, what do you mean by "mirroring them"?

to mirror documents is just like mirroring files for download, or archiving purposes. You can just host the documents on your website, just for the sake of making them more accessible. There's a lot of interesting articles, such as http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Coffee.html hosted on sites like http://tldp.org/ and http://www.yolinux.com/. Although, obviously you'll want to host some original content as well.

Thank you for sorting this "mirroring" out.
Does anybody have a banner of Ubuntu that I can use on the site?

Thank You!
