OK... I give! ;-) Robert A. (aka: of Fl_TeacherTool fame) came by for a visit last summer with his beautiful family and explained to me, among other things, how DRBL worked. I had read about it a year earlier and even grabbed the scripts but didn't go any further with it (I've been terribly handicapped... until recently I've spent most of my time with DIY fuel injection, DIY ignition and Vette engines in odd vehicles) - sort of adhd so to speak. Robert probably noticed my distraction and attention focused on the garage...
I'll fire DRBL onto a server and give it a go with several senior students to gorilla test it and the install process. I sure have had a greater number of teachers than ever before asking for functional access to heavy flash sites and if DRBL, as it is a local running image, can facilitate this I'm all for it. As for including DRBL in Edubuntu it would seem to be a no-brainer. We can't hold up progress, we've got to embrace it and roll with it every step of the way. I'm in a school where the Principals have always been supportive of Linux and LTSP. From comparisons of down-time to maintenance and dollars spent they appreciate what Linux and LTSP has to offer. Maybe DRBL is next in line for adoption. We run a basically open wireless system in the building. After I placed the last repeater (dd-wrt) and fired up the new gateway I had an instant 240 ipods clogging the new pipe. Students use these devices in all language classes and anywhere else teachers promote their use. Kudos to the French and Spanish teacher for the rapid adoption. Now we need to add another subnet so our 56 netbooks on carts can have guaranteed access. Thanks everyone, Jim
