[20:26] or do you manage a classroom of ubuntu desktops? [20:26] Yes, why do you ask? [20:29] I'm trying to find some best practices [20:30] the deployment, do you image a golden master or do you install via a kickstart/preseed [20:30] I'm using LTSP, so all clients boot from the server, we don't use their hard disks [20:30] and managing packages, do you install them on all the clients or do you install them on one machine and mount it across the clients [20:31] One image for all clients, no seperate installations [20:31] ok, so you're virtualized [20:31] No [20:31] I'm just using one single network disk for all clients [20:31] One image for all [20:31] ok, I'll have to look inot the solution some more [20:32] How many clients do you have? [20:32] only about 40 [20:32] LTSP is fine for that, if you have gigabit network [20:32] hmmm, I don't think we do [20:33] I'll have to look into that [20:33] so your clients have no disks? you use pxe? [20:34] Yes, we're using pxe, but they do have disks, they're old windows machines that we switched to ubuntu [20:34] oh ok, so you have actual thin client hardware? [20:35] No [20:35] I loked at the desktop virtualization from vmware, but we don't have the infrastructure for that [20:35] We have old and new desktop computers [20:35] And we netboot them as ltsp clients [20:36] interesting, sorry, I read that line fast [20:36] I'm looking at the ltsp web page [20:39] do you also automount home directories? [20:39] LTSP uses a central home directory, yes [20:40] do you use any type of authentication? [20:41] LTSP uses ssh for authentication, please read about ltsp a bit [20:42] It has its own display manager, LDM [20:42] You enter a username/password and in the background it uses ssh to authenticate you [20:42] So it all works out of the box [20:42] right, I meant do you use AD/ldap/nis [20:45] There's no need [20:45] LTSP handles the client authentication [20:46] So no, I'm not using any of those [21:36] I have brasero on Edubuntu not successfully finishing generating a checksum for my new Linux sabily. How do I correct the process of checksumming? [21:37] It wants to generate a checksum for my new DVD but hasn't finished yet, I started yesterday over 10 hours ago. How do I correct the program, check my disc, & enjoy my new OS?
