Hi Thorsten Sorry for the late reply - I was on vacation (and had sworn not to use any computer in this time ;-) On Samstag 08 November 2008 23:32:06 Thorsten Wagner wrote:
First: my Name is Thorsten and I'm a trainee teacher in a school in germany. I'm currently trying to migrate some of our PCs to openSUSE - which works very well! Thanks to all!
Welcome! Can you post some more technical details about your school? How many Clients, Servers, prefered Applications, etc.?
While searching for additional apps which are not part of the openSUSE-Education Add on DVD, I found a lot of "Education" projects in the openSUSE Build Service and now I'm a bit confused about the state of these different projects.
Yes, there are currently a lot of "Education" projects/packages which are not really part of the "real" openSUSE-Education. I'll contact the other authors and ask if they won't work together with us.
2) Education:deskop 3) Education:server:Factory
As Andrea already said: these two repositores are outdated (and hopefully deleted soon).
4) Education:server:OSS Announced as "Packages for the current stable Open School Server." - What is the "Open School Server"? Is this the Server from Extis?
Yes. (Note: the Open School Server is a SLES9 based server for schools.) Some users ask for additional packages - and I have created this repository for them as most of the packages need some patches to integrate well into the admin-frontend of the OSS.
5) isv:hp:education
Something for Lowry, our Partner Technology Manager, I think.
6) home:*
As Andrea already said: Really "hot" repos: those are development repos and should not used until you have the "go" from the original maintainer of the project/package.
