At this seminar we will go over the ways in which Linux can benefit
schools. We will begin to introduce the technical aspects of how LTSP
(Linux Terminal Server Project) thin clients are installed and
configured. Attendees will be able to try Mid-Pac's own LTSP thin
clients in production, upgraded to the latest Gnome2 environment. It is
the hope of this and future sessions that more people will learn about
the intricacies of LTSP so we have many community members available to
support Linux in schools. If you can't make this session, don't worry,
there will be many more. With the extreme cost savings and improved
reliability of Linux, we have a huge opportunity to provide many
computer labs to the State even during these weak economic times.
This seminar is targetted mainly to Educators and community volunteers.
The topics of this seminar include:
1. Linux services for schools
* Precendents of Linux success around the world
* Firewall, File & Print server, Mail, Web, etc.
2. LTSP installation and configuration
3. Community involvement
4. The role of the new charity organization - Hawaii Open Source
Education Foundation
