A big thing that the school techs will want to know about is how to manage ubuntu systems.. In short, Most tech departments are understaffed and don't really have the resources to implement something that might save time and money in the long run because it is such an up front investment of time. A good thing to do is to get the administration on your side, but you also don't want to alienate the school techs who will have to maintain these machines..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_configuration_management_software is a good resource for some systems management stuff (can allow updates of files, new applications to be added etc) also Likewise open is a great way to authenticate with current windows domains... Bottom line, dont be discouraged, because making something like this happen takes time and effort, and some interesting negotiation skills. Making ubuntu systems truly manageable centrally takes some work. Windows server allows quite a bit of easy central configuration that takes a lot more work to implement in a linux OS. I wish you the best of luck. -- Random quote of the week/month/whenever i get to updating it: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?": "who shall watch the watchers themselves?" - Juvenal -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
