As well as a unified front end to lots of packages the other missing product on a linux platform seems to me to be a secure way of allowing pupils access to their filestores from home. The Microsoft solution allows the users to browse to their filestore and download files and then upload them again later. It implements a filelocking system for shared files.
We tell them to use WinSCP (that is, those with Windows clients). It seems to access our FreeBSD filestores very happily. -- Christopher Dawkins, Felsted School, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3JG 01371-822698, mobile 07816 821659 cchd@felsted.essex.sch.uk
