If we were not using NFS mounted home directories, I would use Sabayon.
Becasue we use nfs home directories and smbldap authentication, I have
a script that the teacher can run after modifying the template user. I
am sure it can be done better.
#!/bin/bash
# settings
BASE_HOME_DIR=/home/students
TEMPLATE_FILE=/home/students/template/template.tar.gz
BASE_TEMPLATE_DIR=/home/students/template
cd ${BASE_TEMPLATE_DIR}
tar -cvzf template.tar.gz * .[a-zA-Z0-9]*
cd ${BASE_HOME_DIR}
for USER in `ls`
do
echo 'Extracting for user:' ${USER}
cd ${BASE_HOME_DIR}/${USER}
tar -zxvf ${TEMPLATE_FILE}
rm -f template.tar.gz
chown -fR ${USER}:Domain\ Users * .[^.]*
done
