Thanks. Yes I had thought about this, but this would require one to setup a dedicated Edubuntu server which unfortunately I don't have available at home. For my situation, I'm seeking a "standalone" solution - if it exists.

Perhaps you can install Edubuntu on a more powerful machine, and then<br>use the build-in LTSP aspect for the older laptop? This thin-client<br>setup is what allows educators to provide the Edubuntu experience to an<br>entire lab of older equipment using a single server.
