Well, I am all about bridging the gap between the teachers/users and that magical thing called a FOSS iso image. Things are going well, and the Edubuntu/LTSP5 progress is part of a very vibrant ecosystem. One cannot lose site that what is a trivial 5 minute kludge for us is a 4 hour stress factor for educators. There is a story to be told in our migration. This lab was an early testing ground for Fedora, a foundation of the K12LTSP. There is a deep commitment to FOSS by this particular educator I am helping, but there is a deeper commitment to teaching children effectively and efficiently. I am often reminded of what is 'different' or not-the-same (equaling not-as-good) about Edubuntu, and the praises of Eric H. are sung loudly. --scott -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
