Re: [SLUG] Linux In Schools
Howard, Yes, usually I do, but peeople get tired of mass advocacy, so most times I would be saying "Linux would be better in this situation," but, in a situation where the NT proxy has crashed, and 65 students want to know where the Inet has gone, you just fix the problem...

Re: [SLUG] Linux In Schools
A school I have been doing a bit of work for, now uses a Debian system for its proxy and smtp mail gateway. 3 nics in it. 1 is for the live addresses for our internet ip's. Then 2 more nics connected to the 2 internal networks. 1 for students lan, and the other for the teachers. Both hook directly to a 100baseT switch. The machine works unreal, and the school has since decided they will now implement 2 ISDN channels, as since rolling out mail to all staff, and http proxy access to all PC's. They will require the better connectivity. Looks like some more work for me. I also installed horde/imp, thus giving them webmail interface. And the school loves it. The only real IT people at this place, is my mate who does a little co-ordinating, and me who looks after the implementation of the linux machine and the services it provides now. So this is a good story... -Original Message- From: Steve Kowalik [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, 14 April 2000 1:47 Subject: [SLUG] Linux In Schools Guys, I may be wandering in a little late (destroyed my mailbox yesterday, then fixed it) so I'm still catching up on mail.

Brad, *checks if he has a teaching license* :) No, I'm only 18, so not a chance :) But, I was one of the more knowledge people in the school about computers, so the admin asked questions (!) and I generally helped and made my opinion known :) Steve -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
