Hiyas, I'm only on just above 'nodding' terms with edubuntu, but have seen that they do have a good support group for the newcomers to it. As it is teachers talking to teachers, they do have a far better understanding of the specifics for classroom / computer labs than we could ever have. It is an excellent variant of the ubuntu family and one that is under appreciated. I actually do so love it when the 'kids' come on and ask how to bypass the security on it.... Gotta love those kids!
For those teachers a liitle afraid and want a bit of hand holding, being able to get over the fear of talking to a 'geek' is possibly a way forward for some (not for all), to extend their computer resources in the current economic climate. With the 'small' plug in computers which are designed to be 'played' with. There does seem to be a loss of the possibility that there are some youngsters who want more than 'shoot them up games' and I know lubuntu is being used to put new life into old kit, the F/OSS environment of which Ubuntu is one of the most actively and well known, the cause is not lost. Maybe Ubuntu-UK would like to propose 'adopt a school / college' - It would certainly get the LoCo about 2,000,000 brownie points for 'all the good things we do' for re-election of the UK LoCo to remain official? just a thought... Regards, Phill.
