[HLUG] update on schools project

[Tony Sales]

Hi guys I have sorted out the interface for the new nursery/primary iso and I intend to call it tuxedu (sounds like tuxedo) and it will have a tux based theme and games etc. I have checked that there are no linux distros called this and although a few people are using it as a username most of the URL's are still available - can anyone buy the domain name tuxedu.org so we can use it or even tuxedu.org.uk - if not I will buy it - but I am not sure how to transfer the domain name to another user, or whether I can use this name on my existing hosting package?

Hello.  Could you tell me if the Queen Elizabeth College in Bromyard has
responded?

Best wishes
