[08:54] <highvoltage> Burgundavia: are you in Sevilla yet?
[09:10] <xite> what does the addon edubuntu cd have which desktop cd doesnt have??
[03:25] <crazy_bus> I'm confused.  Here; http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted it says that you need 150mb of ram per thin client.  But here; http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/server-hw.html it says you need 256 plus 60mbs for each client.  Which is right?
[04:14] <cliebow> crazy_bus, depends onn what you run..i think 60 meg is a little lean..
[05:29] <willvdl> highvoltage, can you do a fridge post?
[05:30] <highvoltage> willvdl: ask corey
[05:30] <willvdl> shweet
[05:31] <willvdl> Burgundavia, could you help RichEd with a fridge post?
[05:31] <Burgundavia> willvdl: sure
[05:31] <willvdl> cool, thanks. He's just finishing the thing off
[05:50] <willvdl> woot
[05:59] <highvoltage> hey ogra-classmate!

[06:14] <willvdl> is that ogra's happy face? :)
[06:25] <willvdl> ping ogra-classmate
[06:26] <willvdl> ogra-classmate, where are you?
[06:32] <edistar> maybe someone here can help me? If I want to use LDAP for logon for the clients, do I need to change something in the ltsp?
[06:53] <cliebow> edistar:no
[07:11] <edistar> exit
[07:49] <damntech> Hello, I was planning a large LTSP deployment and had questions about limitations of LTSP.
[07:50] <damntech> I am planning an LTSP deployment but I have requisites. Java, Multimedia(quicktime w/o drm), Flash. I was curious how much this will rely on the servers video card and what would be the best solution for many hundreds of users simultaneously using the LTSP server(s)?
[07:58] <cliebow> damntech, the servers video card is irrelevant..many hundres of users on a siingle machine will be tough
[08:07] <damntech> Yeah, we have sites with about 1000+ students
[08:09] <damntech> putting high cpu/ram/storage/(one or two) 10gbps nics  in a few servers will be simpler and about as cost effective as placing dozens of servers on the site
[08:10] <damntech> I was just wondering if Ubuntu supported an x86 device like the Sun x4600?
[08:12] <damntech> Our current method of deployment cost >$2000 per end point. After server, network and apps. Our human resources are running tight but endpoints are deployed faster every year.
[08:15] <damntech> I placed edubuntu on a Dell XPS laptop with 1GB ram and had no trouble with 8 clients simultaneously accessing the webbased educational applications we use.
[08:16] <cliebow> damntech, i believe the sun may be proprietary..
[08:17] <cliebow> we have 600 students in the high school..one ltsp server..an ladpserver..ann file server..and ohh.. ahundred ltsp clients..
[08:17] <cliebow> most all of them worn out netvistas
[08:19] <damntech> Ah. Yeah, We have ~2500 students at our HighSchool which we automatically register from our SIS to our w2k3 AD and I could easily adapt the perl scripts to do this with OPENLdap.
[08:20] <damntech> We have no legacy
[08:20] <damntech> All XP Pro, OSX
[08:20] <damntech> but most of our services are webbased
[08:20] <cliebow> ibooks make a apretty dandy client 8`)
[08:21] <cliebow> too bad it couldnt be wireless
[08:21] <damntech> Yeah, I am looking at super cheap PXE bootable clients like the ones by devonit
[08:22] <cliebow> dont forget there is a 3ltsp channel here as well..
[08:22] <damntech> Really!
[08:22] <cliebow> pretty quiet cause the big guns are at ubuntu summit
[08:22] <damntech> Ah, in oregon?
[08:23] <cliebow> Spain
[08:23] <damntech> Oh the oregon one is later?
[08:23] <cliebow> July it seems
[08:24] <cliebow> i think diskless workstaions is  picking up the ebox 2300..they are cute..
[08:24] <damntech> ebox 2300? you have a link
[08:25] <cliebow> nohrtek.com is one
[08:25] <cliebow> ewayco.com the other
[08:25] <damntech> Yeah, I had tripped over the latter site.
[08:27] <damntech> It would be great to have cheap devices like that.
[08:28] <cliebow> going out for groceries..later..
[08:28] <damntech> Thank you for the ideas.
[08:28] <cliebow> Cool1 good luck if i dont catch up tomorrow
