I had a look at the popcon.skolelinux.org results to see if I could get an idea about how people are using Debian Edu are used, and got some insights I wanted to share with the rest of you. First of all, I find it strange that 783 machines are rapporting to popcon.skolelinux.org, but only 143 have one of our metapackages installed (the education-common package). No LTSP client will report to popcon.skolelinux.org by default, so we will mostly see the servers and installed systems, not PXE booted diskless clients.
Of the ones with education-common installed, 125 (87%) are networked clients and 16 (11%) are standalone clients. Not sure about the remaining two percent. 52 (36%) of them are main servers, and 31 (22%) are thin client servers. There is probably an overlap between these two categories. 109 (76%) machines have a desktop installed, and among these 96 (88%) are using KDE, 13 (12%) Gnome, 6 (6%) LXDE and 3 (3%) Xfce. No Mate system report to popcon.skolelinux.org yet. Are there other interesting observations to be found in these numbers? These are the raw numbers I looked at: % GET http://popcon.skolelinux.org/main/by_inst|grep education- 994 education-tasks 151 5 130 15 1 (Debian Edu Developers) 1105 education-common 143 0 0 0 143 (Debian Edu Developers) 1326 education-networked 125 0 0 0 125 (Debian Edu Developers) 1391 education-geography 118 0 0 0 118 (Debian Edu Developers) 1392 education-graphics 118 0 0 0 118 (Debian Edu Developers) 1404 education-astronomy 117 0 0 0 117 (Debian Edu Developers) 1405 education-electronics 117 0 0 0 117 (Debian Edu Developers) 1406 education-language 117 0 0 0 117 (Debian Edu Developers) 1407 education-mathematics 117 0 0 0 117 (Debian Edu Developers) 1408 education-misc 117 0 0 0 117 (Debian Edu Developers) 1409 education-music 117 0 0 0 117 (Debian Edu Developers) 1430 education-chemistry 116 0 0 0 116 (Debian Edu Developers) 1431 education-physics 116 0 0 0 116 (Debian Edu Developers) 1473 education-menus 112 0 0 0 112 (Debian Edu Developers) 1510 education-desktop-other 109 0 0 0 109 (Debian Edu Developers) 1532 education-logic-games 108 0 0 0 108 (Debian Edu Developers) 1768 education-desktop-kde 96 0 0 0 96 (Debian Edu Developers) 1842 education-workstation 93 0 0 0 93 (Debian Edu Developers) 2750 education-main-server 52 0 0 0 52 (Debian Edu Developers) 3085 education-thin-client-server 31 0 0 0 31 (Debian Edu Developers) 3347 education-standalone 16 0 0 0 16 (Debian Edu Developers) 3491 education-desktop-gnome 13 0 0 0 13 (Debian Edu Developers) 3564 education-laptop 12 0 0 0 12 (Debian Edu Developers) 4196 education-desktop-lxde 6 0 0 0 6 (Debian Edu Developers) 4843 education-desktop-xfce 3 0 0 0 3 (Debian Edu Developers) % -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
