Hello Kevin and anyone else who might be able to help :)

I've already hammered away at skolelinux 3.0, and have had two people
working with me (one from a professional services company on the skolelinux
page).  Though if someone knew  how to get an Edubuntu workstation to
connect with LDAP to the skolelinux server, that would be very helpful (but
that's a separate issue I might deal with later).

My primary question (which doesn't require anything about my hardware, at
least I don't think) is:

Is the i386 development version of skolelinux 5.0 (based on lenny) generally
stable enough....or does the installation install correctly generally
speaking.....basically, are there no major bugs with the lenny version of
skolelinux?

And if there are still major bugs, when will the release version of
skolelinux 5.0 become available -- currently on the skolelinux page it is
still 3.0, but there are beta versions of the 5.0 on the ftp.skolelinux.nosite.

A separate question is how am I able to install firefox with flash after
skolelinux is installed?  I had tried a couple weeks ago and even after
following directions, it still had iceweasel without flash support?

Because of the firefox flash issue (and I understand the licensing issues
whey debian doesn't include the firefox branded browser), I had gone to
edubuntu for a while but 9.04 jaunty on their end currently has significant
issues with sound support over LTSP.  I've searched google galore and cannot
find straightforward directions on how to get the full branded firefox
installed onto skolelinux.

Thanks,

Tim
