[10:14] <phaidros> hi, how to go from stock 12.4.3 to edubuntu? I believe it is just sources.list .. or is it just installing the edubuntu metapackages?
[11:14] <highvoltage> phaidros: you can keep your sources.list as is, look for the edubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-edu meta-packages in software center
[11:16] <phaidros> highvoltage: thanks!
[11:17] <phaidros> highvoltage: how much "better" ist 13.10 compared to LTS? (in stable envs I usually go for LTS or Debian stable, on my own Desktop I alwas use bleding edge, so what is good for a kids' desktop then .. ?! :)
[11:18] <highvoltage> phaidros: I'd recommend Ubuntu/Edubuntu LTS or Debian Stable as well for sure
[11:19] <highvoltage> phaidros: the newer versions don't really bring enough new features to make it worth while. most of the important software (web browser, libreoffice, etc) are available in updates anyway
[11:25] <phaidros> highvoltage: ic. is there a security concept yet, as whilelisting websites / apps, a granular permission system?
[11:25] <phaidros> .. speaking of a standalone system so far ..
[11:30] <highvoltage> phaidros: it's one of the top requests on edubuntu, but not implemented yet
[11:30] <highvoltage> phaidros: stgraber is working on a great AD-like solution on Edubuntu using Samba. the long-term plans is to have some kind of policy editor where those settings could be stored and propagated using that system
[11:51] <phaidros> highvoltage: sounds difficult, I'd go for a mixture of apparmor, plus a mandatory webproxy for certain user accounts
[11:51] <phaidros> for that proxy one can easily build whitelists with $webgui
[11:52] <phaidros> even export and share those lists ..
[11:52] <phaidros> this gets me thinking :)
