Hi Zied, As a teacher who 'figured it out' on installing and setting up a thin client server (and now a fat client server the last 2 years) I would NOT recommend having teachers set them up--even with scripts there are decisions to be made that teachers might not have the background to answer. What I ended up doing was setting up the server just the way I wanted it, then using clonezilla, made a clone of it and cloned it onto other servers. I did have to specify a few settings for each server afterwards but they weren't too much, things like changing /etc/hosts etc. But, if you know how to create/adjust scripts, I believe that in Greece they use a script to set up the servers but you would have to customize the scripts to your situation/setting.
BTW, I would recommend looking into using fatclients not thin clients if your machines are at least Pentium IV 2.2 GHz or better with a gig of RAM--that's what I use as my minimum standard for fat clients. If you have about that but only 512 megs of RAM that is more borderline and then I might select localapps which is basically thin clients but you can tell which programs should run on the machine locally. Good luck, David G.
