Hello all, I was wondering what is the current state of the classroom machines and any plans for the future? I ask because I am thinking of teaching some adult...
As you and others may remember, the build of the classroom (and the EAC) machines has been the topic of some discussion for a while now. Last I recall (circa...
... Admittedly, I haven't heard anything since May. But then I've been attending to other things and may have missed some discussions. Personally, I think it...
... Of course Debian was faster- it doesn't have any features. =) All kidding aside, I think we're in a better position now to build each EAC machine with...
... Here's what I know: 1. Nate, Dave and Bill have been discussing the possibility of a future move from Debian to Ubuntu (note, it won't happen next...
... That was our experience in the past, too. As soon as we bumped RAM to 256, Debian and Ubuntu performed equally well. So, if we can run with 256 MB, then...
... Have we scheduled the next session yet? ... <snip> ... I mentioned this earlier, but I'd like to bring it up again: instead of partitioning the disk into...
Not sure how it runs on low end machines, but you might want to look into rocks cluster distro. I haven't had a chance to try it on my lower end machines yet,...
... What's yours? (Figured I'd ask since you brought up the whole discussion.) Perhaps Nate and Dave would be better equipped to answer this? -Matthew...

... Unknown. Next Saturday (August 9) is a makeup day -- they did some makeups after class last week, but at least one student will be coming in on the 9th. ...
... I was thinking of holding the first tutorial on Wednesday, August 20th. I created an Ubuntu image last night. Now, it's just a matter of me finding time...
... Dynamic DNS registration, SSH port forwarding, and the "mini-server" are all back online. So "used to be able to" should be the answer to "how can I." You...
... I see I am no longer getting into the Asterisk machine. Nice. ... I did. Which one is the clone machine? Which one's the shop server? BTW, are you...
... I suspect the machine named "shop-server" is the shop server. =) It was previously referred to as "ByteShopServer." The other machine ("shop-desktop") was...
... That's what I thought. First, I scanned the network using nmap to find machines listening on ssh. Next, I tried those using my ssh key, without any luck....
Well, this thread doesn't seem near long enough yet. I'll do what I can. =) Replacing Edubuntu with the latest Ubuntu sounds like a fine idea. It could ...
... Who knows Xubuntu well enough to field questions from volunteers and students? For example, how does one mount/eject a USB stick in Xubuntu? Regards, -...
Robert, I understand your point here, which is that we need to consider how to support the operating systems that we use and distribute, and having more than...
... While what you say is true, I wasn't actually thinking that broad. I was imagining ByteWorks in the neare future where all the classroom machines ran...
... Reading this, a few thoughts come to mind. In no particular order: [+] I'm beginning to wonder if there's too much of a hang-up on the whole "Debian v....
... I think we are talking about two different, but related, audiences: kids and adults. I have no worries about the kids. They learn quickly and are not...
... For fear of repeating myself, I will say this: [+] I agree that We need to pick a distro/desktop environment and stick with it. We cannot be myopic about...
... Something I (almost) forgot to mention: [+] I think I've suggested this before, but I think we should include a class for the parent(s) in the program....
... Getting back on track ... I would like to teach a 1-hour tutorial at ByteWorks in less than two weeks. I would like to use Ubuntu and Firefox. Can I...
... Knock yourself out. No one is using the edubuntu installs, therefore it is highly likely no one will touch your Ubuntu install. Just out of curiosity, what...
