Wow, that's huge! Wouldn't it take you years to take the dvd and drive to each and every school in order to start an upgrade there? Do you monitor all those installations after the initial installation somehow?
Well, we let the teachers manage their lab however we train them how to doing the upgrade.
Ah, ok. Some more questions came into my mind meanwhile (would be also interesting to hear how other people in the audience solve those). Since you use openSUSE Edu I suppose the teachers use iTALC to control the individual workstations, right? Ie monitoring what's on the screen, shutting the computers off if needed etc. Do the children have individual user accounts with their private home or do you use some shared user per workstation? How do you handle printer accounting? I heard that this isn't that straight forward with cups.
We have a small script just to check whether the school server synchronize the e-learning data from our server. Because this setup depends on our wireless/radio network we use the rrdtool and monitor the status of school routers, radio etc.
Anyway, I also use openSUSE for Asterisk in some places in Indonesia. It's a bit old but it runs well :) see this [1] and [2]
And we have an old system with SuSE Professional 9.0 running a software (based on python) to turn-on the sirene on the beach when an authority announce the tsunami warning :) [3]
