DESIGNING, IMPLEMENTING AND SUPPORTING
|
||
This paper outlines our experience and current practices in designing, implementing and supporting installation and everyday operation of Hellenic school computer labs using Free/Open Source Software (FOSS). The solution is based on the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) to convert existing legacy PCs to LTSP thin clients and modern PCs to LTSP fat clients. Our application "Sch-scripts" includes automated installation, class management oriented operations and is integrated with two repositories, providing patches and educational software. The advantages of our solution, which are already acknowledged by the schools, include simplicity of installation, minimal cost, reusability of obsolete equipment, ease of administration, centralized management, patches and educational software provisioning and, above all, facilitation of the educational procedure. |
