Re: [Koha] Koha live dvd 3.14.00
LIVE DVD is also good for small library singe user applications too. I have recommenced it to several Archives that are internal to an organization. Keep up the good work!

I asked some people about live dvd, and i agree about using live DVD for testing and for education, not for production (the biggest reason, i think, is security). So i left everything as default, no more modification and no more feature. http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha-latest/ If anyone has any ideas or requires, please tell me. And from now, i will make an live dvd for each Koha version 3.14.x. Best regards!

From what I get from people on mailing lists that use the DVD is - »I don't know anything about Linux« - »I don't have time to learn« - »I want to run the system without basic knowledge about it« Of course I do understand that librarians have other things to do than learn GNU/Linux. With proprietary software they would pay a company for support. That is an option for Koha too if there is nobody in-house. The problem is that there is a general misconception about Free and Open Source Software: it is free as in freedom, but using it is not free of cost: either you spend time learning or you spend money on somebody who knows about it. Vimal Kumar V. schrieb am 22.05.2013 In the case of a library professional, they have no Linux experience. They need to familiar with Linux desktop. Live DVD can provide familiarization. There is no need at all to use the »Linux desktop« to run Koha. Servers are usually run headless, meaning no graphical user interface, just a command line. It give more confidence in them. Later they can learn ABCD's of Linux and Koha maintenance. I don't think this is neccessarily true. I am under the impression that the DVD is used to actively avoid learning and it is never going to happen once a library decided to use the DVD in production. Small libraries can run Koha with the help of Koha Live DVD. When collection grows more, they can opt manual installation. Libraries with big collection can go for servers and manual installation. I do not understand what the size of the collection has to do with the way Koha is installed. Even a small library with a tiny collection should use the best Koha possible in production… and that is not a Live DVD. I think this is very misleading and I really hope this (»small- DVD / big-real installation«) is not the way you are going to promote the Live DVD. I strongly object to this statement and I do not think that it has wide support within the community. As far as I remember, when you ran for Live DVD manager you talked about using the DVD to learn about and test Koha and not use it in production. I consider it very dangerous that you promote that now and I did definitely not vote for that when I voted for you as Live DVD manager. -- Mirko ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
