-----Original Message----- Unfortunatly I am not allowed to say too much about what I am doing, but I am basically looking at how well Linux can be used within the educational sector. One day it should all be revealed (hopefully).
Cool. Well anything that erodes RM's (they are even worse than MS IMHO) monopoly on supplying brain dead software to educational establishments can't be a bad thing.
Maybe this could be part of kdeedu. It would certainly be handy for us to have methods of restricting access. It would be good to draft up a list of requirements for KDE in which it could be safely used in a school without kids going wild in the Control Center. Luckily due to Linux's permissions, most of the damage can be prevented. :)
Good idea. I'll have a look what would need to be done, and perhaps try writing an app (I think kdeadmin would be a better place) to do this :) -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP key: http://chrishowells.co.uk/pgp.txt http://www.koffice.org, http://edu.kde.org, http://usability.kde.org
