Possible Duplicate:
Reasons why crontab does not work

I'm migrating some scripts from an older machine to a lucid ec2 machine.
I'm sourcing a file in our ~/.bashrc and setting some environment variables, but those variables don't seem to be accessible from any cron.
Even though my cron has a . /home/username/.bashrc && /path/to/script the script doesn't seem to know of any of the environment variables which is in another file and sourced in ~/.bashrc.

All of these scripts work successfully when I run them from the command line. While trying to run it from a crontab, however, they fail.

On my VPS, when I type locale for a new user I get the following:

tarmac@vps48:~/log$ locale     
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_TIME="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_PAPER="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_NAME="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
LC_ALL=

This obviously isn't correct because it throws me all sorts of warnings. How do I fix this?

I work as web developer and have Firefox and Chrome installed on my Ubuntu system. However, most of the nightmares for web developers are getting things to work on Internet Explorer, mostly IE7 and IE8. My entire team of developers have switched to Ubuntu and now we're facing a difficult time with testing on IE. I'd like to be able to test from my own desktop, but not install virtualbox on each system, since that would defeat the purpose of moving to Ubuntu. Is it possible to have windows run on a virtual box instance on one server and remotely connect to it from say 5 or 6 systems at the same time? Or even run windows on one box and have my entire team remotely access that desktop?
