Hi I have been told several times that KDE EDU, GCompris, Gimp and a custom desktop (not the standard KDE desktop) are key requirements by the schools.
Is this a universal truth? Unfortunately non of the apps are on the current Skolelinux sarge cd as of today. The only possible way to get the apps on the CD is to replace some big existing packages. Replacement candidates are: - the development tools (if needed apt-get install) - emacs (not used by schools and redundant and it's only a quick apt-get install away) - Koffice (redundant and the cause of a lot of problems because of OOo mix up and it's better that a sys admin removes OOo and install Koffice to minimize end user problems if Koffice is their choice. Koffice is growing and has the same File, Edit, View, Insert, Format menu as OOo and for basic usage the same skill set is necessary. I consider Koffice redundant since OOo as of today is our preferred office suite. Personally I like Koffice better and I'm waiting for a better MS Word filter) What is the downsize of a possible package replacement? If the replacement is done the schools will have more apps for learning purposes and the usefulness of Skolelinux will increase. -vidar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
