The default Skolelinux system has become more complex, that is true indeed. If it has become too complex is another discussion. From the view point of a Debian Edu developer and IT service provider, the system is just as it has to be. From a teacher's perspective, I deeply get the criticism of to much complexity. However, those who feel overwhelmed by Debian Edu's grown complexity, please consider the approach described below. ===== Your Gateway ===== * Install ipFire as a Gateway on some minor hardware * Red + Green interface (you need two network cards) * let the Red interface connect you to the internet * Enable DHCP service on the Green interface ===== Basic Skolelinux Installation ===== * Assemble an average server box: * 4 or 8 CPU cores * 16GiB or 32GiB RAM * two fast hard drives (SSD) * 2 network cards * Install a Debian Edu / Skolelinux Standalone system (no TJENER!) on that server hardware * Make sure that your Skolelinux system's hostname can internally be resolved via DNS. Use the ipFire system to configure this. * Test local login, test DNS, install required (educational) software * Create more users on the Skolelinux system through the normal Posix tools (''adduser'') or through some fancy user administration GUI (present in KDE / GNOME) ===== Basic X2Go Installation ===== * Then proceed with setting up X2Go Server on the Skolelinux system: * Add the X2Go archives for Debian to the Skolelinux system * Install the packages ''x2goserver-xsession'' and ''x2goserver-fmbindings'' on the Skolelinux machine. Optionally, you may want to install the package ''x2godesktopsharing''. * Test X2Go access to the Skolelinux system from another client machine that gets hooked up to the Green network interface of the ipFire system ===== X2Go Thin Client Environment ===== * Then proceeed with setting up an X2Go Thin Client Environment on the Skolelinux system: * Install the package ''x2gothinclient-management'' on the Skolelinux system * Follow the X2Go TCE documentation in this wiki to get the TCE up and running * During the X2Go TCE installation you will be guided to set up a DHCP+PXE server on the Skolelinux system. Make sure that DHCP serves the X2Go Thin Clients via the //second// network interface of the Skolelinux system. No DHCP on the first network card (the one that is connected to the Green ipFire interface) * Connect minimal, power-saving systems (i.e. thin-client-like hardware) two the Skolelinux system's second network card and configure them boot via PXE ==== What you have at the end... ==== ... is a Debian Edu / Skolelinux based class room that can be administrated by normal Linux user and group administration tools. No Kerberos, no LDAP, no Samba, no XXX involved. -- This mail was generated by DokuWiki at http://wiki.x2go.org/ _______________________________________________ x2go-commits mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-commits
