Could you figure out if something very much like sagenb.org would work for you? If so, I can literally just give you a copy of sagenb.org, which is nothing more than a VMware virtual machine running on the desktop in my office using VMware workstation. I can delete all the particular user data from sagenb.org from it, change the password, and just give it to you (or anybody) to use. -- William > BTW, I found the following in the Wiki: > > http://wiki.sagemath.org/DanDrake/JustEnoughSageServer > > Anybody had any experience with it? > > > On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 10:11 AM, kcrisman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >>> You didn't say if this is a classroom lab (so all of your students will be >>> using >>> Sage at once) or a math computer lab for out-of-class homework (so students >>> will go in at random times, convenient for them).
