Dear All, Thanks for all the hard work you are putting in lately.
I have some concerns about browsers that might affect other schools, A few days ago hotmail stopped working with iceweasel (skolelinux lenny - 3.0.6 I think it is) again. This time it can't be fixed by user-agent-string tweaks. A significant number of students use hotmail for school work here. Yahoo mail users have to use the 'classic' version, or they can't send attachments. Recently I received a message from Google Apps (we use apps for education to provide our e-mail and document sharing, as do several other international schools I know) stating that, after August, apps would stop working with Firefox <4 (or any other stable browser by the look of it) Today on /. I read that FF5 is out. 5? I haven't even tried 4 yet! The google chrome that I have to use to admin the google apps (Iceweasel doesn't work fully) is telling me that lenny is obsolete, so it can no longer update. I need to keep updating it because of the August deadline mentioned above. Anyway, this should go away with squeeze, I'm sure, so ignore this one. So it seems that browsers are expected to be updated every few months nowadays! It might not be possible to even complete a school year with one version and still have everyone's apps/mail/ who knows what working. How would you manage this kind of thing on a skolelinux network? Create a local apt repo? Install from testing or unstable? How would you perform the updates on the individual workstations and servers all at once? cheers nigel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
