[03:32] <gregmon-pterando> hello
[03:34] <LaserJock> hello
[03:34] <gregmon-pterando> I am committing one of my boxes to an ubuntu project.   Trying to decide between edubuntu and kubuntu.  Have a child...
[03:35] <gregmon-pterando> ... whom we sometimes let browse the internet using a nanny software system to keep him to a set of 6-8 sites.
[03:36] <gregmon-pterando> So the Q is to what extent is edubuntu for kids themselves, per se, versus literal "educators" per se.
[03:36] <Burgundavia> it is for both
[03:36] <gregmon-pterando> and then is there any log-in process (as I know Knoppix's KDE has) that could let me restrict other things he does
[03:36] <Burgundavia> it can function very well in both settings
[03:36] <Burgundavia> you want a kiosk mode?
[03:37] <cafuego> gregmon-pterando: You cna easily enough add/remove appropriate software though. If you need website access control, you might need to run a proxy with a filter on top...
[03:37] <gregmon-pterando> (Not that computer literate) but perhaps.
[03:37] <gregmon-pterando> k
[03:38] <LaserJock> gregmon-pterando: is it mostly you using the computer or your child?
[03:39] <gregmon-pterando> I've got one box that is 95% me alone, 5% the kid + me;    plus I'm considering putting on the laptop he uses the other ratio around.
[03:39] <LaserJock> and are you partial to a particular desktop environment like gnome or kde?
[03:39] <gregmon-pterando> KDE.
[03:40] <LaserJock> I'd probably go Kubuntu + educational apps for yours
[03:40] <gregmon-pterando> Also, I have a question about sudo passwd.  Does this always work-- meaning that anyone can make up a new root password every hour?  
[03:40] <LaserJock> and Edubuntu for his
[03:40] <gregmon-pterando> k
[03:40] <gregmon-pterando> k
[03:40] <LaserJock> you can create a user that doesn't have sudo access
[03:41] <gregmon-pterando> cool.  That's what I want.  I'm also thinking bout as the kid gets older and dodgy friends come over to the house.
[03:42] <LaserJock> yeah, KDE has a kiosk tool that would allow you to lock down you childs desktop
[03:42] <gregmon-pterando> Still have 3:15:02 before my data backup is done, so just doing some last minute reading before committing.  
[03:42] <gregmon-pterando> Can you say the name of it? (I'll look and see if it's on this other KDE knoppix box I'm running).
[03:43] <LaserJock> kiosktool or kiosk-tool I think
[03:43] <LaserJock> :-)
[03:43] <Burgundavia> gnome has pessulus and sabayon
[03:43] <Burgundavia> both are available in dapper
[03:43] <Burgundavia> with sabayon you could create a profile with your child and then lock it down
[03:44] <gregmon-pterando> Isn't sabayon an RR4 distro?  
[03:44] <Burgundavia> it is also that
[03:45] <LaserJock> sabayon seems really nice for Edubuntu
[03:46] <gregmon-pterando> k.   I'm anticipating that as Vista rolls around, I may have to have a word with the wifey about moving son to (*)ubuntu insteaad of upgrading, 'less she wants to pay. :)
[03:46] <pc22> is there anyone who's using microsft money on linux?
[03:46] <LaserJock> pc22: ?
[03:47] <pc22> finance software like gnucash
[03:47] <LaserJock> yeah, I was just trying to figure out the relation to Edubuntu ;-)
[03:48] <gregmon-pterando> I'm impressed it has blender.  Know of anyone teaching kids with it, per se?
[03:50] <pc22> cos im using edubuntu
[03:50] <pc22> i dont know how?
[01:26] <EmxBA> juliux: can i get telnet access to your server?
[01:26] <juliux> EmxBA, no
[01:26] <EmxBA> why? 
[01:26] <EmxBA> i need that for a wikibot
[01:26] <juliux> EmxBA, because telnet is unsecur
[01:26] <juliux> e
[01:27] <EmxBA> thatis 
[01:27] <EmxBA> maybe ssh?
[01:28] <EmxBA> not telnet, ssh, juliux
[01:28] <juliux> EmxBA, no
[01:28] <juliux> EmxBA, no ssh no telnet
[01:28] <juliux> EmxBA, nobody get an shell account on my server
[01:29] <EmxBA> why? i am asking you nicely
[01:29] <EmxBA> :(
[01:29] <juliux> EmxBA, securit
[01:29] <juliux> y
[01:30] <juliux> EmxBA, the only ssh account is my account i know that i dont use any exploids
[01:31] <EmxBA> ok
[01:31] <EmxBA> anyway, thanks :)
