I have the latest smbldap-installer but I can't see the webmin module. What is is called and how do you install it? On 15/09/2007, David Trask [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The latest smbldap-installer (see the archives of this list or the dev list for the repository) has a webmin module which

Flash seems to be brought up as a problem quite frequently. I know that at the Edubuntu labs that I take care of (which have flashplugin-nonfree), it's a major CPU hog and tends to make Firefox crash. Has anybody tried Gnash? How is it? -- greg reagle | computer technician, system

running edubuntu as a virtual server

2008-03-06 Thread Madzsar, Andrew
We just received a grant which will allow us to buy around 45 thin clients + a server. Has anyone ever run Edubuntu as a virtualized server? This school does not usually get new hardware, so if I can get a new xserve and (hopefully soon) run vmware or parallels virtual server products on it then

Something funny going on with the reply-to's here I think. At the moment, the school I'm involved with has a 10/100 network in place that I inherited, and I've finally convinced the powers-that-be that a new networking arrangement needs to be found if they want to allow the school's networking

Someone had suggested early that they use wine to run the windows version of firefox with it's plugins. Is this a better alternative? I do, but only for Shockwave. Flash works just fine with Linux/ltsp. I think we got quite heavy environment - both servers has 2x duo core xeon and 6 giga ram.

Greetings. I thought of trying to run an Edubuntu LTSP server within Parallels, but decided it would be simpler to do on a real machine. [I've really only run a couple of test configurations.] If you are to try that route, I think you'll have some struggles with the networking, as the virtual

Actually I am using Ubuntu Hardy (I didn't notice this was the K12OS list -I have cc'd to Edubuntu list.) I managed to do a manual install of 9.0.48.0 using path /usr/lib/firefox- 3.0b3 But the video on the clients is still choppy. I am not sure why. On 07/03/2008, Nils Breunese [EMAIL

I do agree that more slower servers would be better, but the people above me feel that we have too many servers (our g4 servers won't die and they still support the latest software). So in order to make them happy and try to help out the school as much as possible I am hoping one really nice
