[06:53] <humph_> Hello good people, cam anyone point me to where I could find a work around or a howto, to get edubuntu 12.4 recognise a couple of thin clients. They have enough RAM but HP has a Transmeta Crusoe TM5600 533 MHz processor, and the Neoware has a VIA Ezra 800MHz. They both boot fine with an old Centos LTSP but I would like to go with the more modern Edubuntu 12.0.1. Please any help will be appreciated. Thanks
[07:03] <humph_> Sorry I mean Edubuntu 12.4.1

[17:47] <Ahmuck> anybody home?
[17:51]  * highvoltage is at work :(
[17:53] <Ahmuck> hiya highvoltage
[17:53] <highvoltage> hey there
[17:53] <Ahmuck> so, how has are the educational resourses in edubuntu?
[17:54]  * Ahmuck is thinking about creating an spanish and/or college level art section
[17:54] <highvoltage> it varies from a few basic things to a few advanced pieces of software. curriculum isn't particularly our focus since we want to make the system as easy to use and administer as possible first.
[17:55] <highvoltage> but there's a huge demand for content and educational resources so projects like what you're mentioning is hugely welcome
[17:55] <Ahmuck> what would you consider the best method?
[17:55] <Ahmuck> something like moodle, wikipedia, you tube video? etc.
[17:56] <highvoltage> personally I try to avoid moodle, it has many problems. wikipedia is nice, but it's an encyclopedia and not meant for courseware.
[17:56] <highvoltage> but yes, video seems to work nicely in general
[17:56] <Ahmuck> what would you suggest for courseware?
[17:57] <highvoltage> that's maybe a question for the edubuntu-users mailing list. I honestly don't know.
[18:00] <Ahmuck> one of the primary issues of any courseware program or any program is vendor lock in because of format and info.  i''ve leared to stick with things like text files, etc or common formats.
[18:00] <Ahmuck> for example, how would one move from moodle to another system if they wanted to?
[18:07] <highvoltage> Ahmuck: yeah good move
[18:08] <highvoltage> Ahmuck: it would've been nice if there was some standard format to present all of that in, or at least software that has reasonable export/import functionality
[18:08] <highvoltage> moodle is quite horrible like that.
[18:08] <highvoltage> ogra_: had any luck with the post office?
[18:09] <ogra_> highvoltage, missed the opening time today, but will make it tomorrow ... no worries, all will be fine
[18:09] <highvoltage> it will?
[18:09] <ogra_> sure :)
