Nice! Cool things are happening... Belinda, I just got an e-mail from someone who was looking to install LTSP on edubuntu lucid and was asking what he needed beyond the instructions on this page <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/installlucid> I had written. I referred him to this page<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/installLTSPlucid>as well as the basicsetup page<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuDocumentation/EdubuntuCookbook/BasicSetup>. >From my point of view, a critical resource would be a complete set of tutorials on setting up a LTSP lab in a school with Lucid. It needs an easily-updatable pathway to create a 10.10 BasicSetup page... With a good 'Hub' page Edubuntu would be open to many more tech inclined educators...
