Hi Simón! I grew up in Illinois, on the Indiana border (your schools are now besting Illinois in yet another area!), and I would LOVE it if you would blog about this whole experience. I'll happily provide you the web space if you need it. I moved away, but I still visit the area often, and my mom is a public school teacher in Illinois. I would love for her and others to be able to read about what you're doing. I have almost no experience with LDAP, however I know who I'd ask if I needed help with it. If I have your permission to give your email address to one or two people, I think I can find you some help. As for having a "real Linux support person" I think that you are well on your way to being all the school could ask for! Please, please, please write about this somewhere.
