Einen Thin Client-Server mit Edubuntu aufsetzen
In diesem Artikel gebe ich Hinweise, wie die IT-Abteilung an der Malawi Polytechnic mit ganz einfachen Mitteln ein auf Edubuntu basierendes Thin Client-Netzwerk aufziehen kann. Da es wenig Sinn macht, den auf Deutsch zu schreiben, lies doch bitte die englische Version 🙂
Kurz zusammengefasst: Das Einrichten eines Thin Client Netzwerks mit einem Terminalserver ist normalerweise ein ziemlich kompliziertes Unterfangen mit studenlangem Lesen von Dokumentation, Tagen von abgrundtiefer Verzweiflung und dem Versuch der Verdrängung mittels hochprozentiger Alkoholika. Nicht so mit Edubuntu: In der aktuellen Version (6.10) muss man exakt überhaupt nichts konfigurieren, schon hat man sein System. Nur installieren und im Standardfall (ein Netzwerk mit Adresse 192.168.0.0) läuft alles out of the box, man kann damit Dutzende von Thin Clients booten.

[…] The last 3 days I worked with 4 students of the IT dept. on the setup of the servers for the thinclient Network, that will be installed at the library. The students first installed the motherboards, I’ve brought from Switzerland into the ATHX cases. Then I needed 2 days, to download the newest Edubuntu 6.10 CD from the Internet. The post of Ramon as well, as the short Edubuntu Documentation are very helpful for the students. It’s the first time for them to configure an LTSP Server. The next days the students will work out a presentation for the upcoming official handover of the system, so that they will be prepared to demonstrate it to the public. […]

[…] The 2 Thinclient Networks are now properly setup with squid as proxy service and work perfectly. The research and article of Ramon Cahenzli was pretty helpful for the setup, because doing research on the internet in the Polytechnic is very frustrating because of low bandwidth. […]

[…] I just wanted to tickle your curiosity for these wonderful images. I will probably write about the software libre aspects of all this at a later date, or in the blog at lix.cc. Over there, I’ve already talked about thin client setups with Edubuntu that the students of The Polytechnic will subsequently be working with. […]

[…] Alex Antener yesterday managed to wrap up this year’s stage of his Free Software project in Malawi, Africa with the official handover of the two complete thin client networks donated by the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Zürich (my dear employer). […]

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make
your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening
to read?
