But... what's the target user for a "this is where you start"? Someone who can make their own spin... there's only very few of those target users, and they can help themselves (IOWs if there isn't a SoaS, they'll yum install sugar-*, set gdm to autologin and they'll be ok). Not many of those users are close to a school. Teachers who want to use SoaS in a classroom... there are lots of them... and they don't want to learn how to make spins. It's usually hard enough to "burn" the USB sticks so that they boot already. And they need many activities to be included, so they can give it to 6 or 7 year olds... Yes, there are some teachers who have a geek sidekick with linux/fedora know-how, but that's a vanishingly small number... cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
