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:

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...

Your openSUSE Education team
