I'm trying to set up five (5) laptops for classroom use with limited
menu options and specific programs that I use in my special ed
classroom. I have numerous packages that I would like to automate the
downloads (instead of picking and clicking), to the tune of about 850M
worth.
Any way to do this quicker/easier than pointing and clicking for every
computer?
Note: I am using Ubuntu for the laptops, but I run Etch on my home
machine doing the configuring.
What if you run the laptops as diskless thick workstations, where
stuff like /usr, /home, /etc, ... are mounted NFS, but all CPU
processing (and and necessary TMP files & swapping) are done on the
laptop.
That way you only configure things once.
