Dear friends of skolelinux :) hopefully one of you can answer one or the other of these two questions:
(1) in order to win our PC-Arts teacher for using the skolelab, I set up blender for him. It _is_ hard to use, but if one has some sample finds, they can play around with those. Alas, blender's GUI seems to use its own drawing routines, if you start it on a thin client and klick onto a menu, after 1 sec, one half of the menu's background shows up as triangle, after another second the other half, and then 3 entries per second are written into the menu box. This is way too slow - is there any way to fasten this? (e.g.compressing screendata?) BTW, before blender runs, one has to set a symbolic link from a missing library file (wrong subversion) to an existing one. (2) for my own computer science lessons I do need the java compiler javac. At home with testing, javac is a link to /etc/alternatives/javac -> /usr/bin/gcj-wrapper-3.2 which comes from gcj-3.2. With skolelinux, I could only install version gcj-3.0, but there is no javac to be found. What is the most recommended way to have a complete java sdk installed - debian conform if possible? Add entries to sources.list? Download .deb files? Blackwood? Sun? Thanks for your hints regards Ralf
