Hello All,

School's almost over for the year and I want to start considering classroom
computers for next school year. By looking at the ltsp-pnp page
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp> I see that it is
supported on 16.04 (w/ a command to deal w/ a bug
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nbd/+bug/1487679>, thanks!). I
was looking for a general discussion about pros/cons such as consideration
on sticking w/14.04 vs moving to 16.04 for next school year.

I'm also wondering about using arch 64 throughout server/client systems
since all client machines now are 64 bit machines.

As per usual, I'll be setting up a test ltsp-pnp 'LAN' at my house this
summer. This becomes more urgent if I upgrade to 16.04. I can do some
testing of 16.04/ltsp-pnp/epoptes esp if I knew of specific things to test
out--anyone?.

This school year I supported 4 other teachers/classrooms running a clone of
my system and it wasn't too time consuming! Amazing that a full time
(non-technology) teacher can support 5 classrooms running ltsp-pnp LAN's
esp. considering the teachers in the other rooms had never heard of Ubuntu
before this year. LTSP-pnp #JustWorks. That being said, next year it looks
like I'll have (at least) 2 MORE classrooms on my support list in our
school! Any recommendations on how best to make this happen? I'm guessing
there is a more efficient way than cloning my system w/clonezilla then
burning it onto the other classroom servers, then customizing (though I got
pretty efficient at doing it!) I can share that process if anyone is
interested.

Thanks,
David G
