Hi,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/K12Linux
Hmm... I had already begun working on integrating K12LTSP with a
target of Fedora 9. LTSP enables terminal server and thin client
capability just like Edubuntu server or the older K12LTSP.
Well, I don't know, how big this LTSP really is and correct me, if I'm
wrong, but I think that with LTSP and further educational applications,
we are running into heavy space problems (on cds). I had already
problems including the educational software in my kickstart proposal. I
think an educational spin could include the possibility to log on to
such a terminal server. But I'm not sure, whether a live cd should
include a terminal server...
The old LTSP that built an entire distro itself in the chroot wont fit
on a CD. But the new LTSP is really only a few megabytes of code on top
of regular Fedora.
Also in my plans were to simply make a yum group for other Educational
software to make it easy to install from Add/Remove Software or
PackageKit, or to include in any spin. It sounds like you are working
on the latter part of this.
Good idea! In my opinion, this would also be better than just providing
a script on the desktop. +1
Might it be confusing to users to have both a "K12Linux" and
"Education" spin?
I think we should discuss, how to go on. You're right: Two spins might
be confusing, so we should talk about how to handle this.
But here might be enough space for a cd and a dvd - I would suggest
something like:
* one version, which includes the terminal server (and which would
mainly be used in schools)
if we would include the server and serveral edu apps, I would
recommend a dvd
* another version for the thin clients, which would be just for
logging on to the terminal server
Not necessary - think about what thin client means. =)
* a cd, which might be given by teachers to their students (I think
pupils don't need to have a terminal server on their local computers)
These are just suggestions and I think, we should really discuss how to
organize this, so that we don't have several projects all doing the same.
So our two editions would be similar to Ubuntu:
K12Linux Desktop - just the educational desktop apps
K12Linux Server - Desktop, LTSP, Moodle, DansGuardian, Squidguard, etc.
