Good morning,
Hi :)
I work for a school board in Montreal and we are finally shifting over
to open source software for our older computer labs using Lubuntu
14.04 instead of windows 7. The performance between the two is
incomparable and schools are saving up to 15 000$ by converting to
Lubuntu instead of purchasing new hardware.
This is really great to know. I wish the world can read this :)
Our teachers have been working with us on this and one *big request*
is to put shortcut to web sites on the desktop. I thought this would
be a simple request but I am unable to find any information on how to
do this. Can anyone help?
Are we talking about a shortcut on the desktop for: Google, Yahoo,
Twitter, etc so that the user does not need to open the browser and
search for the website not click on the bookmarks but rather, just click
on the shortcut on the desktop? is that what you are asking?
The quickest way is to add any website as a bookmark on the Bookmarks
Toolbar.
This might work as a workaround until you confirm your request :)

The convert at the school is very much a StartUbuntu activity and we
always ask people to follow such example. We would be glad if you could
join StartUbuntu as well.
All Ubuntu Official flavors are part of StartUbuntu!
