Goals of Edubuntu
Their aim is to put together a system that contains all the best free software available in education and make it easy to install and maintain
Why do we use linux in schools
I think we should use linux in schools because it is cheaper and much more secure, and because normal computers need anti viruses to fight viruses that come approximately 30000 daily. And linux does need any antiviruses because it fights anti viruses itself and contains no viruses .
Server distribution.Primary Domain controller
capability
The TLSP system is a scalable single or multi server system, comprising many features.
Server Distribution.KiXtart
TLSP uses KiXtart scripts to set up Windows XP clients on the domain, providing mandatory profiles to most users on the system.
Server Distribution.Servers
TLSP includes the Moodle e-learning package, and several website content management systems, including Joomla! and Website Baker.
Server distributionWPKG
Particularly interesting is the inclusion of WPKG, which enables the remote installation of software on Windows clients. By using a machine profile stored on the server, it is possible to install software packages, hotfixes, and security updates in the background.
Client Distribution
The first version of Karoshi Client was based on PCLinuxOS. Further upgrades to the system as a whole led to the client using a modified version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with a GUI similar to the Microsoft Windows interface.
Client distribution.Technical
Karoshi Client contains many applications which were deemed necessary for school work. Media production software are included, along with programming tools and visualization software.
limitations
It is difficult to integrate TLSP into an existing Windows network, without changing the address space to the standard one that is used by the TLSP system.
Future plans Kerberos support is planned for the Karoshi server and client system, providing single sign on to all services provided by the Karoshi distribution. This will be unfeasible until Samba 4 is released due to the complexities surrounding integration of user resolution and file access across multiple operating systems, such as those that do not support the Active Directory protocols
