As a permament user, developer and builder of hardware I'm planning on
getting involved with www.computer-aid.org. I think edubuntu is a great
idea, particularly for third world schools.

 

A couple of suggestions:

 

1. That this is made into a fully fledged option, with a server version,
managing users accounts (so roaming domain profiles in Windows) and
managing software.... basically a central management option for creating
a domain (in Windows terms).

 

2. Security be added into the server version, with a highly customisable
firewall, such as Smoothwall.

 

I think this could be a great OS, especially if it is made 100%
complete, including all security and server features.

 

Regards
