Hi LTSP community! First of all I would like to thank you for this awesome project. I would love to see LTSP used in our school, maybe some day I'll make it happen.
I am writing an assignment, a thesis of sorts, about computers in schools, that includes a part about LTSP. My argument for using LTSP in our school system, is primely the freedom. Specifically the freedom to change and modify it. To show how this is a good thing, I wanted to demonstrate how you can modify the LTSP to do what you want, and how cheaply it could be done. The latter part I cannot do alone and that's why I've come here. If anyone knows LTSP, you do. The modification I'll use as a demo is this: If the teacher could have a control panel that could dynamically grant (or remove) the students permissions to read, write or execute a file. For example, if the class is just a lecture, then the students don't need a browser or a spreadsheet. But if the teacher, in the middle of the class, wanted the students to find the population of some country, the teacher could flip a switch on the control panel and the students had a web browser to go on-line with, and when they didn't need it anymore the teacher could turn it off again, so the students wouldn't just go check their email, or myspace, during class (which is a real problem in our school). I would very much appreciate, if someone could make a rough estimation on how many resources it would take to add this feature, how many man-hours it would take. Thank you so very much, Magnus Ve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
