Just a few things from my experience, 1) Epiphany is a good browser over-all.. it's fast, I've been using it as my main browser on my eeepc 701 and it's good for the most part. 2) I had one of the schools I work with test out Epiphany since Firefox was giving us some grief... I didn't get into to

Mauricio, You need to log in to a TTY on the client (CTRL+ALT+F1) as root and look in /var/log. If you haven't set a root password in the client chroot, do so and update the client image. Reboot the thin-client and then log in. Cheers, Jordan/Lns Mauricio Hernandez Z. wrote: > Guys, > > Thi

Hi Boateng, The only thing I can think of to suggest for you is to set up an Ubuntu/Edubuntu system and showcase what it can do. Thin-client / LTSP is a great way to show people what you can do if you have older hardware that cannot be used effectively with Microsoft-based products, but can be
