Spurred on by your excellent feedback (thanks!), I have had another stab at this and actually managed to get logged on. The problems arised (for me) because it seems that once you get sorted with launchpad there is much confusion regarding what name to use once you actually get an account. In my case it was not NigelK nor Nigel Kennington but in fact nigel-kennington that was the required username... Furthermore, once logged in one is redirected to a wiki page that seems to be the profile update/creation thingy that includes a password field that I had assumed was required to log in to the wiki. However typing anything in there causes a password mismatch error message - which is where I gave up last time. Turns out that this page is irrelevant though, and despite the password error I was already logged in. So that's all tickety-boo now. > How do educators needs differ from anyone else's?

The single best education specific part of Edubuntu from my perspective is the inbuilt control tool which I hope will allow the same basic functionality as Netsupport School (www.netsupportschool.com), i.e. keyboard/mouse lockout, remote control, broadcasting and application control. > The LTSP stuff (better explained in the > tuxLab Cookbook) is part of the added value of Edubuntu, > in addition to packages aimed at teaching children at > the primary and secondary school level. (Not enough > of those programs yet, but more coming all the time.) Reading the cookbook now, lots of good information there, thanks. I still have concerns about the system requirements though, the cookbook states 2Gb RAM and an SCSI hard drive for the server and 32Mb RAM for each client. Is that really enough to run 20 Open Office programs simultaneously? From what I've been reading about Open Office, it's not the leanest suite on earth. Also, no mention is made of the processor, but if it's in line with having 32Mb of RAM, you'd be looking at a Pentium I (if that) yes? -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
