[opensuse-edu] openSUSE status and future plans
Hello Community Things have been busy lately polishing openSUSE-Edu medias[1] so have not posted about LTSP in a while. The current status: * openSUSE-Edu-Live-Li-f-e is perhaps the only distribution with full suite of education desktop and server applications to run LTSP directly from a live session. * LTSP packages we are using currently are at 5.1.71 * Most comprehensive Sugar environment available over LTSP thanks to all the work of David(Nubae), more to come * iTalc integrated to also run directly from a live DVD Future plans for openSUSE 11.2: * Integrate stgraber's ltsp-cluster work * Jan weber is currently rewriting Easy-LTSP[2] GUI for LTSP management in python, the idea is that now more distributions may feel comfortable including it getting all the benefits we have been enjoying for some time now. Watch out for the Easy-LTSP-ng, get the source[3] if you would like to work on it. Feedback, suggestions always welcome. * Use new "clicfs[3]" images for the NBD and AOE root. Hopefully that covers all the bases.

Jigish, That definitely is helpful as it gives me a sense of direction as you guys really rock it too fast. :) SB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
Hi Jigish Again: Thanks for your hard work! On Donnerstag, 28. Mai 2009 09:06:27 Jigish Gohil wrote:

I think, we need a new CD-Layout for the Li-f-e media - adapted to the new Li-f-e branding. Can Samyak create such a CD-Cover? Or is someone else interested? SVG Images are available in SVN...
* Most comprehensive Sugar environment available over LTSP thanks to all the work of David(Nubae), more to come
Yes: David does a great job including Sugar into openSUSE - Thanks! Just one question: I like to start single applications without the sugar-emulator from my normal window manager (like KDE, GNOME). Is this possible?

@Jan: please have a look at http://www.augeas.net/ (openSUSE package is in Factory and zypp:Head for 11.1). Using this nice tool for reading/writing lts.conf, I think we can convince at least the Fedora people ;-) With kind regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
