We’re moving them all to a set of common style-sheets, graphics and master pages as well as putting both our web server and SVN repository into a logical structure. What started as just a few ASP.NET applications, has grown to a jumbled mix [...]

After first testing in a virtual machine and then on a secondary machine, I’ve made the leap to running Linux full time on my primary home computer.
