Hi,

I just installed a new notebook server on:

        https://combinat.sagemath.org:8080/

following http://wiki.sagemath.org/SageServer
Thanks Jason for the great step-by-step instructions!

This made me wonder: we currently are distributing a virtual machine
containing a sage notebook server for private usage, mostly for the
convenience of our windows users.

Would it make sense to distribute another virtual machine that would
be preconfigured as a public notebook server? Then, someone wanting to
run such a server at a meeting, or in his lab, or in a class, could
just fire the virtual machine and be basically, up to maybe some
virtualbox/qemu network configuration. It should be straightforward to
script the instructions on the wiki, to make the building of the
virtual machine roughly automatic.

Of course any long term usage of such a server would still require
more tweaking, but that would be a good easy starting point.

Just throwing the idea; I am not really volunteering ...

Cheers,

                                Nicolas

PS: by the way the instructions to create the sage user accounts are
currently broken on the wiki. I used this instead:

      for i in $(seq 0 9); do  cp ~sageserver/.ssh/id_dsa.pub 
/home/sage$i/.ssh/authorized_keys; done
      for i in $(seq 0 9); do  chmod 700 /home/sage$i/.ssh; done
      for i in $(seq 0 9); do  chmod 600 /home/sage$i/.ssh/authorized_keys; done
      for i in $(seq 0 9); do  chown -R sage$i:sageuser /home/sage$i/.ssh; done
