>wasn't until a little over a year ago when I wanted to learn and use
>Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 because I thought it was a interesting
>product for people with a small IT infrastructure to use for there small
>business. To my dismay I found out that good ole' MS had cut support 1-2
>years ago and so it was irrelevant for me to learn it because it was
>unsupported like XP.

>Long story short, I came to one of my professors wanting to do a research
>project on open source Linux / software adaptation for small business
>particularly targeting the server. Since then I have made a very capable
>distro from Ubuntu that would replace + give SB owners the resource to run
>there own server from there own hardware. I am still in the Alpha stages of
>slimming down Ubuntu and sending it to Canonical for evaluation so it can
>be marked as a official distro/remix.

I would also like to add that I would love to help the Fedora project
in any shape or form!
