Unfortunately there are a lot of web pages not working to well with
konqueror, and it's not very good at handling all kinds of plugins. A
lot
of educational net based software depends on browsers with different
plugins. IMHO iceweasel should be on cd1, along with most common
plugins,
It should be included on the next etch-test with the most common
languages. I haven't included all, that would be 44 languages.. I looked
which languages are installed for kde and tried to install the same ones
for iceweasel.
Atm no plugins are installed i think... which plugins do think are
important?
flash, java, mplayer, acroread... Or substitutes. Most online educational
software is based on flash.
and gimp should be replaced with digikam with plugins. Digikam is
lighter
than gimp, but suits most needs for image manipulation in schools. Gimp
is
somewhat heavy, and the common situation in schools is that you have
groups with at least 5-10 pupils at a time. 5-10 users using gimp on
thin
clients simultaneously is not a very good idea...
I don't know digikam, but what do the others say to this idea?
Don't know, but I have installed it on some schools, and at least the ones
I've spoken to, appreciates its ease of use, and the easy tools for doing
batch processes like resizing a lot of images in one go. It is good for
sorting pictures, viewing pictures (one by one, or as thumbs), resizing,
color correction, red eye reduction, cropping, etc. It is also useful for
getting images from a digital camera.
