Thanks, it's much appreciated! I haven't tried out the new Schooltool 
interface yet, but I've seen some screenshots and it looks realy slick.

On the server topic, I came across this specification this morning for 
Zentyal integration for Edubuntu:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-edubuntu-zentyal-integration

I'm really happy for the enthusiasm and support we already have for the 
server idea, Alkis mentioned some good ideas on IRC yesterday too 
regarding how we could add on to LTSP for a disk cloning solution.

Really looking forward to seeing how it will turn out for 12.10!
