Controlling and managing Edubuntu users' desktops (Linux.com)
[Posted August 7, 2007 by ris]
Linux.com has an excerpt
from The Official Ubuntu Book, Second Edition. "The
community-driven Edubuntu project aims to create a version of Ubuntu
specially tailored for use in primary and secondary education. Perhaps the
most useful feature present in the Edubuntu OS is the Linux Terminal Server
Project environment, whose applications are not limited just to
eduction. The LTSP model centers around one powerful machine that acts as a
server and several often much lower-powered machines that act as clients
and boot from an installation of Ubuntu on the server. Though you will not
be installing anything on them, there are still some maintenance tasks
specifically directed at clients."
