Eeyore-Jrhttp://pastebin.com/m44377e7c - can anyone tell me why this would not work?00:38
ograit would, but only if you force ltsp to use nfs00:45
Ahmuckhttp://www.nubae.com/ltsp-linux-terminal-server-project-netbooted-fat-client-for-ubuntu-hardy-and-intrepid - i followed this document00:46
AhmuckIt's not working for us, and were not sure why00:47
Ahmuckvanilla server, and followed to the letter document00:47
ograwell, only nubae can help01:05
ograi wrote big parts of ltsp but have no clue at all abotu fatclients01:05
Ahmuck:( nubae is gone today ...01:21
Ahmucki guess i'll have to stick with thin till i can figure out why switching to a fat client dhcpd.conf like he has listed causes no client boots01:21
Ahmucki'll be building a ubuntu ibex binary for ltsp on a g3 mac.  i assume there is not one already.02:05

smudgeHi All, I am setting up a schools computer club project in the Caribbean. I want to (obviously) use Edubuntu... Is there are "community" of other people trying something similar housed at Ubuntu? I am looking for shared ideas and hardware best options.13:43
nubaesmudge: how many computers, what specs?13:48
smudgeHey Nubae. We have 12 computers now which are very old. Will try installation today, but assume that I will fund raise for others from our free software project (www.barnraiser.org). If that works I will aim to expand. I would like to know what we should aim for. Rugged laptops / cheap desktops / thin clients?13:51
smudgeAlso, does Edubuntu case study projects? Anything I can read up on?13:53
mavcihi, i want to install edubuntu with ltsp to be used in a 30 computer network environment. Clients will use Firefox 3, Open Office and Eclipse most of the time. When we try with 8.04, our main problems were slowness because of sshfs and local program running support. Will 8.10 change anything?15:31
EghieEclipse could be the problem of the slowness15:38
EghieHardy has a problems with the speed op JAVA15:38

ubottuUbuntu bug 277069 in libxcb "Java slow on remote X" [Low,New]15:39
sbalneavsshfs is, by it's nature, a little slow.15:46
sbalneavWe use sshfs as the primary method of getting home dirs simply because it's guarenteed to be secure.15:46
sbalneavif you're less concerned about security, you could always bodge the localapps script, and mount using nfs, or the like.15:47
ogra8.04 didnt use sshfs anywhere15:51
Eghiecool, I've got a webpage as "background" :)15:55
