farruinnhas there been any consideration to include BlueJ as an educational java IDE?  We use it at my school here and it's quite nice for beginning students (no frills -> allows students to focus on learning programming and not an IDE)04:11
farruinnI don't know what sort of restrictions there may be on including it since it's a java app04:12

jsgotangcoive been cleaning up the docs01:56
jsgotangcomdz began to bug about it01:56
jsgotangcohmmm the build works great btw01:57
ograthanks :)02:02
JaneWwhat's the lowest spec machines that can comfortably run edubuntu? (client not server)02:14
ogra64MB 200Mhz ?02:14
ogra(thats a guess)02:15
ogramight work with less...02:15
ograbut i guess below 48MB memory on the thin client you get problems02:16
ograJaneW, or did you mean the workstation version ? 02:17
JaneWyes thin client02:18
JaneWfrom an e-mail  recievde02:19
ograi think cpu wise you can go down to 133Mhz ... but highvoltage would be better for an answer here...02:19
JaneWMost workstations are XP or WIN98 -based but the school also has a number of early X86 and PowerPC G3 workstations; it is these that I believe would benefit from EduBuntu.02:19
JaneW02:19
JaneWI have experimented with Ubuntu on several X86 PCs; honestly, the system requirements for Ubuntu are too high for me to use on the older PCs.  02:19
JaneWThese workstations range from 166, 200 and 233 MHz units with 64 Meg RAM and small (<1 Gig) hard drives.  02:19
JaneWI expect that many schools have equipment that is of this generation or older!02:19
JaneWIs there a distribution of Ubuntu that will bring new life to these old workhorses?02:19
ograsounds ok...02:19
JaneWthey should be fine with Edubuntu right?02:19
ogra(the specs)02:20
ograyup... as thin clients they are good...02:20
JaneWwe should actually mention spec on our wiki page and that lower range machines can work (as thin clients)02:20
JaneWgreat thanks02:20
ograJaneW, to make up real specs i'd need a real LAB ;)02:22
JaneW:P02:22
JaneWdon;t you have one there?02:22
JaneWI imiagne you in a white coat02:23

ograJaneW, i have an old crappy comapq workstation as testserver and abuse my laptop as client...02:25
ograJaneW, that urgently needs to change for breezy+1, i will need some more clients etc...02:25

jsgotangcoogra, is there a chance the client can't connect at all and goes into busybox?02:42
ograjsgotangco, when ? 02:42
jsgotangcojust now02:42

jsgotangcoyeah i just have to sort out this stuff in svn by today03:17
ograhighvoltage, no idea, i never used it03:17
JaneWhighvoltage: not afaik... it can be set...03:25
JaneWhighvoltage: I started with Thunderbird on windows and changed to evolution (also on windows) and then migrated to Ubuntu..03:26
JaneWhighvoltage: I was posting html mail until mdz politely told me to stop ;)03:26
highvoltageJaneW: I started with perdepos (pegasus mail), then moved to yebo!mail, then outlook express, then pocomail, then evolution, then thunderbird, then back to evolution, and now back on thunderbird :)03:27
JaneWare you confussed or what!?03:28
JaneWthunderbird was ok, but I hated that it had no built in (or even good plug-in) calendar03:28
JaneWand I need a calendar03:28
JaneWso evolution suits me much beter03:28
=== JaneW dicided to go to gym again tonight - it's helping to destress me...
JaneWdecides even03:29
=== JaneW decides to enrol in a typing class!
highvoltagei used evolution when i needed a calender, so now that i don't need all the fancy stuff that evo has i use thunderbird again.03:34
highvoltageone thing that sucks a bit, the only program i can sync my phone calender with in linux is Korganiser.03:35
ograhighvoltage, poke chmj, he does the bluetooth stuff :)03:36
highvoltageogra: my bluetooth works fine, my phone sends .vcs files to the laptop, but only kde's stuff seems to be opening .vcs files.03:38
ograhmm, evo imports vcf ... can you convert it ? 03:39
