I hadn't heard that part. My understanding is that Ardence is basically doing NFS root of a full OS. Which is similar to what LTSP 5 (muekow) is doing on Ubuntu and a few other distributions
Speaking of ltsp 5.... Are you game for helping me take eric harrison's current ltsp 5 package set and getting them into shape for submission to Fedora Extras? I'm going to be spending time this week and next week poking at what he's currently got with the goal of making a package submission to fedora extras as soon as I am comfortable with the mechanics of the packaging. My understanding from my brief email conversation with eric is that there could be some improvement in automating the configuration process for a default config, but that the packages basically work. I'll stand up and act as maintainer for the package set for the time being until I find some co-maintainers with cvs access. Once we get ltsp 5 into the fedora repository we can have a serious discussion as part of the fedora development dialog about how we can establish a ltsp install target for fedora 8 and beyond. Post Core/Extras merger we might even have a good chance of getting a dedicated ltsp or even an educational spin out into the wild IF we have enough momentum to keep it maintained. If we can get a fedora spin for ltsp together (that can be tracked with download metrics), we'll be in a strong position to shame Red Hat into putting some engineering manhours into the development to start pulling a product together based on the Fedora packages. -jef _______________________________________________ Fedora-education-list mailing list Fedora-education-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-education-list
