Hi Weiers, Thanks for the mail and I saw your chat with replaceafill as well on IRC.

Well, we're not literally an organization, but there is me and three and a half paid developers working on SchoolTool, so I'd say "yes." > Which virtualisation package would be best to test school tool with?

While I tend to overstate the simplicity of things, being project manager, I don't see getting the packages you need to a school on a flash drive or cd to be a serious problem. I installed my first Linux distro off a pile of floppies, so it is hardly a new issue. That said, I don't know exactly what the best solution to that problem is, but I'm sure we can figure something out within a week or so. Generally speaking, we're trying to server the kind of school you're referring to, so your questions and problems are relevant to us! --Tom Hoffman _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~schooltoolers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~schooltoolers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
