HesNikkehiya01:34
HesNikkewould edubuntu be a good distro to put on my 7 year old nephews 5 year old POS dell?01:34
HesNikkeor should i go with xubunutu01:34
AmaranthHow much RAM does it have?01:35
HesNikkenot much01:35
HesNikkei wanna say 32 megs or 64 megs01:36
AmaranthOh dear.01:36
AmaranthI don't even think Xubuntu will work on that01:36
HesNikkehaha01:36
HesNikkei got knoppix to work after hacking in some swap01:36
HesNikkequite slowly01:36
AmaranthXorg itself will use about 10MB01:37
HesNikkeyeah, 64 megs01:37
AmaranthI think the kernel uses another 4-8MB01:37
AmaranthYou'd be better off using fluxbox or something on there, I'm almost positive Xubuntu will be too heavy01:37
AmaranthLook into upgrading the RAM. :) 128MB will make Xubuntu happy, 256MB will make Ubuntu (and probably Edubuntu) happy01:38
HesNikkeok, so the other question is01:38
HesNikkedoes edubuntu have tools for a 7 year old?01:39
HesNikkeeducational games for 2nd graders and what not01:39
AmaranthI think so.01:39
AmaranthI don't use it, I just make things. :)01:39
HesNikkelol01:39
Amaranth"Gcompris is huge collection of activities for the kindergarden. It gently introduces kids to basic computer use, then it builds on that by expanding to basic maths, reading activities, and more."01:41
Amaranth"The Tux4kids project has produced software such as TuxPaint, TuxMaths and TuxTyping."01:41
HesNikkegrrr01:43
HesNikkei can't find info on setting up xubuntu from the command line on the interweb01:43
HesNikkeany suggestions?01:43
Amaranthfrom the command line?01:43
HesNikkeor should i download an alternate CD?01:43
HesNikkeyeah, it complaining about the xserver being setup wrong when i boot from the cd01:43
Amaranthoh01:43
HesNikkebut if i boot with the single optoin at least i get a prompt01:43
Amaranthyeah, you need X to install from that CD01:44
AmaranthYou're talking about the Desktop CD, right?01:44
HesNikkealright, so i'll setup X01:44
HesNikkeyep01:44
HesNikkeaha!01:47
HesNikkeinsuficiant memory window01:47
HesNikkenot enough RAM :(01:47
Amaranthheh, i figured as much01:48
HesNikkeand it had already picked up the swap partition i set up (256 megs)01:51
HesNikke:(01:51
HesNikkepentium II's used PC100 RAM right?01:51

knixtechfor open office, srry09:05
maccam94Burgundavia: lol, s'ok, i don't think it's an easy question09:05
Burgundaviamaccam94: you could create different print servers and only allow people to print to printers off one server09:06
knixtechnvmd09:07
maccam94well there are going to be classrooms, which each have their own printer09:09
maccam94and every computer will be identical09:09
maccam94(there are 300 at least)09:09
maccam94people will be able to log on to any machine with their own unique username and password09:10
maccam94what i would like is for the available printer list to be location-sensitive09:10
maccam94maybe some sort of naming scheme could be done based on mac address, and then the computers derive the available printers from their hostnames (like rm250pc1 would see printers rm250pr*)09:11
BurgundaviaI don't think the gnome printer dialog supports that yet09:11
maccam94it would be some sort of conf file variable09:12
maccam94$printerhost = $hostname - pc* + pr*09:13

pygiJJF, you can meet some small part of Edubuntu community and as such contains a lot of people interested & involved in various things in Education, development, marketing, schools, unis, and such :)09:33
JJFgood question... knixtech... I got a new job in Aruba, and there's a lot of financial problems. Old computers, hardly money for new machines, not to think about Microsucked licences09:34
knixtechJJF, very very nice,  do it up09:35
JJFi had a meeting last friday, and got a few people interested, I need to setup a small lab, in order to convice my collegeas09:35
JJFthen, the board/other staff members09:35
knixtechyou think about ltsp?09:35
JJFit not just concerns the school where i work at, but the whole public school system here in Aruba09:35
JJFlove ltsp09:36
knixtechsweet09:36
JJFi worked with windows terminal server as well..09:36
JJFgreat concept, especially when it's free and doesnt stall!09:36
JJF;)09:36
pygiJJF, ;)09:36
JJFas said before, the problem here is money, microsoft makes it harder also to pirate software, which btw i dont think is bad... but since i'm (or the schools) are wihtout money, what's left to do09:37
JJF:)09:37
knixtechyou got that right, welcome09:37
JJFI prefer legal and stability, therefor linux... i looked into edubuntu, and it might be my solution09:38
JJFhehe thanks kniptech09:38
JJFp=x09:38
JJFbut do you guys work in schools too, or you comp.wizardz at home/work09:38
pygiyou can't just generalise stuff like that :)09:39
JJFwhat do you mean09:39
JJFpygi?09:39
knixtechJJF, i am a network admin for technical education and am going to implement edubuntu in education09:39
pygiJJF, well, not everything boils down to "school worker" or "computer hacker"09:39
JJFofcourse pygi, but since this channel is for edubuntu, that's why i asked it09:40
JJFim a network admin myself, mainly school enviroments, but had too many problems with windows09:41
JJFthis situation might not just convince my collegeas, but also government employees09:41
JJFthe available educational software and ltsp will give the pro's vs the cons... (if there are any cons)09:42
maccam94i wish the ubuntu mystory thing was up09:42
knixtechJJF, you are right up my alley, we should brainstorm together09:42
JJFgood.09:43
