Fw: Ubuntu for School (epic93dude at gmail.com)

[Joseph Hartman]

Hi Jonathan,

Yeah, I'm at cetpa right now and actually attended a couple of sessions by
your Revolution Linux co workers Pat and Ben where ltsp-cluster came up. It
sounds like a fantastic solution which, unfortunately, didn't exist when I
was doing all of my tinkering. You guys are doing some good stuff over there
though. I really enjoyed the presentation they delivered on laptop and
netbooks image management, as that seems to be a direction that more and
more schools that I work with now are heading. For these schools, a solution
like landscape seems more and more like what is needed since we are managing
groups of machines or even individual laptops from a distance. Vdi solutions
are great but I work with a private cloud solution  myself, so a vdi into a
cloud is a bit redundant. Nevertheless, we need some method of updating and
customizing the laptops we support. It sounds like you guys have a good way
of making this happen, and Pat pointed me to some possible areas to research
like puppet, so that alone was worth the trip up here. I'll continue to be
in touch. Thank Pat and Ben for me too yeah? They both did a great job. Glad
to hear you finally got your Canadian work visa ;) -Joe
