Dante123what are minimum requirements in terms of CPU, RAM, and HD space to run edubuntu well.....12:55
LaserJockDante123: for an LTSP setup?12:55
Dante123what does ltsp stand for.....exactly......01:26
LaserJockLinux Terminal Server Project01:29
Dante123yes, i want to do that kind of install.....01:30
LaserJockhow many clients will be connected to the server?01:31

Dante123likely 5 or so computers01:54
LaserJockwell, probably at least 500MHz CPU, 1GB RAM, HD would be whatever you think people would use01:55
Dante123what kind of cpu.....pentium 3 okay....??02:01
LaserJockperhaps02:01
LaserJockI mean, it kinda depends on what you'll be running02:01
LaserJockand how well you want it to run02:01
LaserJockoh wait, maybe it's 1 GHz that you need02:02
LaserJocklet me go see if I can find the official minimum requirements02:02
LaserJockDante123: http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/ltsp-hw.html02:06
LaserJockDante123: I think maybe I told you a lie about 500MHz02:07
Dante123so what is the truth??02:07
LaserJockwell, it says 2GHz is good for 20 people02:07
LaserJockI think probably 1GHz might be ok for 5 but it would really depend on what they are running02:08
LaserJockthinks that are graphics intensive could be problems02:08
LaserJock*things02:08
LaserJocksorry about that, I've never actually run an LTSP server.02:10

Dante123hi....what are the minimum requirements for edubuntu or xubuntu as a desktop install???02:15
Dante123I have a pentium II....192 megs ram........3g partition......can it run either one decently....for browsing web etc.???02:15
LaserJockyeah, they will probably run02:21
LaserJockhow fast is the pentium II?02:21
Dante123350 mhz02:22
LaserJockI think I would recommend Xubuntu for that one02:22
Dante123it will run puppy linux fine.....but my kids like ubuntu....so I am hoping xubuntu will run okay on it02:22
LaserJockthe hard drive is pretty small, but it should work02:22
Dante123I see minimum requirements.......and they mention mainly ram....but not much on CPU and speed....02:23
LaserJockyeah, CPU is much harder to put a limit on02:24
LaserJockI would use the Alternate CD for installation02:24
LaserJockthat requires less RAM and is faster for the slower machines02:25
Dante123okay....will give that a try.......will xubuntu support games like netpanzer......that work on ubuntu right off the bat???02:25
LaserJockwell, it's possible to run everything that Ubuntu runs02:26
LaserJockbut you might run into hard drive limits and CPU limits for games02:27
Dante123if i have 192 ram.....i should be okay for netpanzer.....you still think I should download the alternate install.....is that mainly to save on install time???02:29
LaserJockwell, it could02:35
LaserJockfor the Desktop installer you have to boot up to a running system and then install02:35
LaserJockwith the Alternate installer you can start installing right away02:35
LaserJockand some people with 192 RAM have experience problems with the Desktop installer02:36

jsgotangcoyo!01:00
hmd64 I'm plane to make a mixture of edubuntu and xubuntu someting like tuxlab distro01:04
hmd64edubuntu is great but don't work nicely on older hardware01:04
jsgotangcoreally? is it because of the gnome desktop01:05
hmd64gonme is too heavy on network LTSP server01:05
jsgotangcoright01:05
hmd64and also we need some simplification of the GUI for children01:06
hmd64IMHO edubuntu team has just made ubuntu+kdeedu+LTSP that's all01:08
hmd64that's not enough01:09
jsgotangcohmd64: we're completely aware of that01:11
jsgotangcowe just don't have enough developers to make some radical changes, as well sa proper planning01:11
hmd64I know01:12
jsgotangcoamd64 testing for instance, we only get something like 2 test volunteers01:14
hmd64I prefer to make changes inside edubuntu distro01:15
hmd64so it can reach a lot of people and to be shiped freely01:16
hmd64tuxlab has made a nice job but their distro is localised only for southafrica01:17
