Hello Community openSUSE Education[1] team[2] is proud to announce the first ever openSUSE Education and KIWI-LTSP[3] live/installable server DVD.
The DVD is created using openSUSE Build Service[4], a free and open source multi-distribution collaborative packaging platform and openSUSE distribution builder. The build service uses the same KIWI imaging technology[5] to create live DVD we use to create kiwi-ltsp images. The DVD contains fully pre-configured, ready to run KIWI-LTSP server with tons of applications from openSUSE Education repository[6]. It also has the updates to all packages since the 11.1 release. With the KIWI-LTSP server you can PXE(network) boot other PCs to use this live DVD without installing or modifying anything on them. Booting from hard disk again will leave those PCs as they were. Selection of very useful softwares for students as well as educators in the DVD are: bluefish TuxMathScrabble xlogo xdrawchem tuxtype tuxpaint tuxmath stellarium stardict plutimikation piklab openbabel octave nvu ktechlab ksociograma ksimus kseg knoda klogic klavaro kdissert gnome-chemistry-utils k3dsurf jMemorize gramofile gnucap gcompris galculator fluidsynth eclipse dynamips chemtool celestia canorus bwbasic brainworkshop bibletime avogadro atomix XaraLX TuxWordSmith MultiplicationStation italc drgeo childsplay bluej xboard vym qcad pysycache netbeans littlewizard knights klogoturtle kding kdeedu3 gelemental Apart from the whole of Gnome with hundreds of other applications. Get it from here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/iso/ Users to log in from terminals are linux1-linux5, password is linux. As the DVD is meant to demonstrate KIWI-LTSP the IP address of the eth0 is set as 10.0.0.254, you can modify to your environment after installation. To test iTalc with LTSP, "su -" to root and run "italc-launcher". As this is the first release, feedback, suggestions, bug reports would be highly appreciated. It would be great if all LTSP developers give it a try and comment on our way of the implementation of their hard work. The DVD will be improved/fine tuned further over the next few months. Special thanks to the repository maintainers for all the hard work on Education project. Robert "bud313" Lewis for testing the DVD. Have a lot of fun...
