| BigDaddy | hi | 17:42 |
| BigDaddy | anyone here tryed to set up thinclients in edubuntu? | 17:43 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | yes | 17:43 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | how are you? | 17:43 |
| BigDaddy | i am well...and you? | 17:43 |
| BigDaddy | have you found it to be a relitively painless process? | 17:44 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | download ubuntu-alternate, install ubuntu + ltsp on a server, upon bootup, "sudo aptitude install edubuntu-desktop" | 17:45 |
| BigDaddy | for simple web and open office uses...have you found older, perhaps p2 systems to be adiquate | 17:46 |
| BigDaddy | *adequate | 17:47 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | server side? | 17:48 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | or client side? | 17:48 |
| BigDaddy | client side | 17:48 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | it's hard for me to say. i'm using p3, but i may have some p2 at 500mhz? | 17:50 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | i just throw them in and make sure they have enough mem | 17:50 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | your problem is going to be firefox/flash | 17:50 |
| BigDaddy | this is my problem...I am needing to establish internet based learning centers throughout Africa...with the price of internet access i need to reduce my cost of equipment...thinclients seem to be the way to go...one p4 for the server and 4 or 5 lower end machines for clients | 17:50 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | any reason for not shipping newer clients? | 17:55 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | what kind of cost for the server/client are you looking for? | 17:55 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | why ltsp? why not stand alone machines? | 17:56 |
| alkisg1 | BigDaddy: what are the client specs? | 17:56 |
| alkisg1 | BigDaddy: The minimum requirements would be something like 64 RAM, 200-500 MHz CPU... | 17:57 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | heh, my next suggestion would be to work with alkisg, and sbalneav | 17:58 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | maybe nubae | 17:58 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | BigDaddy: where u based out of? | 17:58 |
| BigDaddy | Africa | 18:04 |
| BigDaddy | The reason for the older computers is simply that of $$. not only that of purchase but also the problems acociated with importing a large number of newer machines | 18:07 |
| BigDaddy | im not familure with alkisg, and sbalneav | 18:08 |
| BigDaddy | or nubae | 18:10 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | i'm working with a group who is exporting p3 to africa | 18:15 |
| BigDaddy | really? | 18:16 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | this is why i asked. looking at power considerations it's been determined that lcd screens are cheaper to run | 18:16 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | and small form factor | 18:16 |
| BigDaddy | definitely...i just sent 60 LCD screens and p4 machines from the states over | 18:16 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | back to ltsp, alkisg probally has the better experience with lower end machines | 18:16 |
| BigDaddy | that was my same conclutions...well that and the issue of picture tube alignment after a month long journey on a ship! | 18:17 |
| BigDaddy | are we still talking within ubuntu? | 18:17 |
| BigDaddy | or edubuntu? | 18:18 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | ? | 18:18 |
| BigDaddy | you just mentioned alkisg | 18:19 |
| BigDaddy | i asked if that was something from within ubuntu(edubuntu) or if we were talking a different os | 18:19 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | alkisg is a user :) here on IRC | 18:20 |
| BigDaddy | haha...sorry! | 18:20 |
| sbalneav | Morning all | 18:28 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | BigDaddy: sooo, looking to expand usability from old machines? | 18:29 |
| === alkisg1 is now known as alkisg | ||
| BigDaddy | yes. my goal at the end is to lower my cost of equipment by utilizing gear which is as cheep as possible | 18:33 |
| BigDaddy | i have an almost never ending supply of older machines in the states and if i can figure out a way to utilize them in place of newer, more expensive ones i will be able to increase my number of distance learning centers tramendously! | 18:35 |
| alkisg | BigDaddy: well, for simple office usage one server can power up dozens of ancient PCs | 18:45 |
| BigDaddy | that is what i was thinking...im glad to hear that i am thinking correctly | 18:46 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | BigDaddy: may i inquire what organization your with? | 18:48 |
| BigDaddy | Yes, Church of the Nazarene | 18:48 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | i run a small lab, and open office, is not a problem at all | 18:48 |
| Ahmuck-Sr | BigDaddy: care to private message? | 18:49 |
| BigDaddy | sure | 18:49 |
