| [11:42] <cheeko> is ther any linux alternatives for teracopy which increases the speed of copy in windows | |
| [17:42] <BigDaddy> hi | |
| [17:43] <BigDaddy> anyone here tryed to set up thinclients in edubuntu? | |
| [17:43] <Ahmuck-Sr> yes | |
| [17:43] <Ahmuck-Sr> how are you? | |
| [17:43] <BigDaddy> i am well...and you? | |
| [17:44] <BigDaddy> have you found it to be a relitively painless process? | |
| [17:45] <Ahmuck-Sr> download ubuntu-alternate, install ubuntu + ltsp on a server, upon bootup, "sudo aptitude install edubuntu-desktop" | |
| [17:46] <BigDaddy> for simple web and open office uses...have you found older, perhaps p2 systems to be adiquate | |
| [17:47] <BigDaddy> *adequate | |
| [17:48] <Ahmuck-Sr> server side? | |
| [17:48] <Ahmuck-Sr> or client side? | |
| [17:48] <BigDaddy> client side | |
| [17:50] <Ahmuck-Sr> it's hard for me to say. i'm using p3, but i may have some p2 at 500mhz? | |
| [17:50] <Ahmuck-Sr> i just throw them in and make sure they have enough mem | |
| [17:50] <Ahmuck-Sr> your problem is going to be firefox/flash | |
| [17:50] <BigDaddy> this is my problem...I am needing to establish internet based learning centers throughout Africa...with the price of internet access i need to reduce my cost of equipment...thinclients seem to be the way to go...one p4 for the server and 4 or 5 lower end machines for clients | |
| [17:55] <Ahmuck-Sr> any reason for not shipping newer clients? | |
| [17:55] <Ahmuck-Sr> what kind of cost for the server/client are you looking for? | |
| [17:56] <Ahmuck-Sr> why ltsp? why not stand alone machines? | |
| [17:56] <alkisg1> BigDaddy: what are the client specs? | |
| [17:57] <alkisg1> BigDaddy: The minimum requirements would be something like 64 RAM, 200-500 MHz CPU... | |
| [17:58] <Ahmuck-Sr> heh, my next suggestion would be to work with alkisg, and sbalneav | |
| [17:58] <Ahmuck-Sr> maybe nubae | |
| [17:58] <Ahmuck-Sr> BigDaddy: where u based out of? | |
| [18:04] <BigDaddy> Africa | |
| [18:07] <BigDaddy> The reason for the older computers is simply that of $$. not only that of purchase but also the problems acociated with importing a large number of newer machines | |
| [18:08] <BigDaddy> im not familure with alkisg, and sbalneav | |
| [18:10] <BigDaddy> or nubae | |
| [18:15] <Ahmuck-Sr> i'm working with a group who is exporting p3 to africa | |
| [18:16] <BigDaddy> really? | |
| [18:16] <Ahmuck-Sr> this is why i asked. looking at power considerations it's been determined that lcd screens are cheaper to run | |
| [18:16] <Ahmuck-Sr> and small form factor | |
| [18:16] <BigDaddy> definitely...i just sent 60 LCD screens and p4 machines from the states over | |
| [18:16] <Ahmuck-Sr> back to ltsp, alkisg probally has the better experience with lower end machines | |
| [18:17] <BigDaddy> that was my same conclutions...well that and the issue of picture tube alignment after a month long journey on a ship! | |
| [18:17] <BigDaddy> are we still talking within ubuntu? | |
| [18:18] <BigDaddy> or edubuntu? | |
| [18:18] <Ahmuck-Sr> ? | |
| [18:19] <BigDaddy> you just mentioned alkisg | |
| [18:19] <BigDaddy> i asked if that was something from within ubuntu(edubuntu) or if we were talking a different os | |
| [18:20] <Ahmuck-Sr> alkisg is a user :) here on IRC | |
| [18:20] <BigDaddy> haha...sorry! | |
| [18:28] <sbalneav> Morning all | |
| [18:29] <Ahmuck-Sr> BigDaddy: sooo, looking to expand usability from old machines? | |
| === alkisg1 is now known as alkisg | |
| [18:33] <BigDaddy> yes. my goal at the end is to lower my cost of equipment by utilizing gear which is as cheep as possible | |
| [18:35] <BigDaddy> i have an almost never ending supply of older machines in the states and if i can figure out a way to utilize them in place of newer, more expensive ones i will be able to increase my number of distance learning centers tramendously! | |
| [18:45] <alkisg> BigDaddy: well, for simple office usage one server can power up dozens of ancient PCs | |
| [18:46] <BigDaddy> that is what i was thinking...im glad to hear that i am thinking correctly | |
| [18:48] <Ahmuck-Sr> BigDaddy: may i inquire what organization your with? | |
| [18:48] <BigDaddy> Yes, Church of the Nazarene | |
| [18:48] <Ahmuck-Sr> i run a small lab, and open office, is not a problem at all | |
| [18:49] <Ahmuck-Sr> BigDaddy: care to private message? | |
| [18:49] <BigDaddy> sure | |
