sbalneavziroday: I use, and WRITE ltsp02:51
sbalneavI'm one of the developers02:51
zirodaywow02:52
zirodaywell first ohh, ltsp is awesome02:53
zirodayand i think ive incorprated it and brang life to about 8 NGO's now02:53
zirodaysbalneav: and i was wondering02:54
sbalneavYes?02:55
zirodayis there anyway i can push settings to all users02:56
zirodaylike make them all have the same desktop02:56
zirodaywallpaper02:56
zirodaywithout changing each users manually02:57
sbalneavYep.  Look into Sabayon, and pesselus02:57
zirodaythanks02:57
zirodayso what did you write in the project?02:58
sbalneavMost of the localdevice support.02:58
sbalneavLots of docs02:58
sbalneavRewriting LDM in C02:58
zirodayahh lol02:59
sbalneavetc02:59
=== effie_jayx [n=valles@ubuntu/member/effie-jayx] has joined #edubuntu
zirodayhey is there and different LDM Login screens?, or are they just normal Login Screens that you can get from gnome-look and its like?03:00
sbalneavThe ldm greeters are different.03:00
sbalneavCurrently, there's really only a gtk+ greeter.03:01
sbalneavI'd like to see a qt greeter, and a Xlib (plain) greeter03:01
zirodayahh03:04
zirodayok03:04
zirodaysorry its just that most NGO's i work with have no idea what linux is or howto use it03:04
zirodayso i try to make it as "windozy" like as possible03:04
zirodaye.g. one bar at the bottom, with a windoze logo, windoze icons etc03:05
zirodayand they always get scared whenever they see anything say anything about edubuntu03:05
zirodaythe name just scares them lol03:05
sbalneavTried that a long time ago, and discovered that it was a really bad way to go, personally.03:06
zirodayyou think its better to teach them?03:06
sbalneavNo matter how much you make it TRY to look like windows, it will never BE windows, never act COMPLETELY like windows.03:06
zirodaytrue03:06
sbalneavWhich confuses them even more.03:06
zirodaybut i do things like rename OOO Word, just word and give it a word logo03:07
sbalneavI've found it's better for it to look completely different, then you drive home the fact that this ISN'T windows, and some things are different.03:07
zirodayso i dont get a call in the middle of the nite from my latest NGO asking where word is lol03:07
zirodayhmm, ill try that this time than03:08
sbalneavcuts down on a lot of the "Well on REAL windows, when I do THIS it should work like THIS" type complaints.03:08
sbalneavBut that's just what I've found.03:08
zirodayyeah i get a lot of those lol03:08
sbalneavI've got 175 government workers using gnome and openoffice, as gnome and openoffice.03:09
sbalneavand I've even got 8 of them to convert to Linux at home.03:09
zirodaylol, but do you live in the same country as them?03:09
sbalneavYep.03:09
zirodayunfortunatly not for me03:09
zirodayim in singapore and i help NGO's in indonesia, phillipines03:10
zirodaymalaysia etc03:10
zirodaymainly with computer issues or shortages03:10
zirodayso its hard for me to go down there and do this and that say there this is how you have to do it03:11
zirodayso which country are you in?03:12
sbalneavCanada03:13
zirodaylucky03:13
