Hi there, this is about possible improvements for maintaining skolelinux work stations. Just another set of ideas - please comment if it makes sense and is feasible:
At the moment I hesitate installing an entire lab with slx workstations - not (only) because of woody, but rather because of its maintainance. As write access should mainly go to NFS mounted home directory, isn't it possible to mount local drives (except swap) r/o ? This could save forced fsck after crude power offs - and prolongue the system' live until re-install, too (easily done from CD if there is no dual boot solution) To have a better syncing: how about mounting /etc/apt if not /etc from tjener:/skole/workstation/etc or the like? Alternatively some "pull" script could load recent stuff from some space on tjener (rsync or fai?) What you think? Regards Ralf
