It seems crazy to me that an edubuntu workstation integrates worse than windows into a skolelinux network. If there is only one thing that happens, please make it be that. Why do we need edubuntu machines? - because sometimes ubuntu just works on newer or unusual hardware (eg. netbooks), saving hours of struggle for unskilled IT coordinators like me. Also edubuntu have done a lot of work on local apps for thin clients that is missing from skolelinux. It would be good if we could plug an edubuntu ltspserver into a skolelinux network and it just worked. I imagine this is just dreaming, but I can always ask, right? For sure edubuntu would benefit from tjener. I have never understood why they don't use it. Good luck everyone! nigel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
