[CoLoCo] Need help installing edubuntu at windsor high school

[Jim Hutchinson]

Mitch,

Thanks for the tip. By shares are you referring to user folders on the
network? If so, yes, we want that too. We had it last year with suse but it
was not perfect. You could drag and drop but not save as directly to the
folders.

Bryan G is coming on Thursday to help so we should be good but if anyone
else is interested in seeing a real live application of thin clients or
wants to help/learn you are welcome to come.

Thanks again,
Jim
