I would like to add an in-school online forum to the list. Currently, most students use myspace or facebook and what they do is get outside of the schools control in doing this. If software like that was installed on the schools servers( virtual machine), the school could keep track of what was going on, be able to take immediate action on ugly forum postings and use it as a training aid for up and coming techies as they would help run it. Also, by running this on the school itself, they can keep outsiders off the system by implementing IP filtering so only local IP addresses are allowed access. So Billy Bling in Chicago can't be trolling the forums as Sassy Sally and looking for "a friend". Another project I've been considering and I have ideas of revenue generation for the maintenance of the system. ;-) Doug -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
