Is the custom Knoppix CD available? Your description suggests that it would be a good starting point for a edu-sig distribution. On Sunday 21 March 2004 5:40 pm, Stephen Thorne wrote:
I've taught python using a custom remastered Knoppix CD. We found it very successful, and we were capable of doing things with linux on the desktop that we couldn't possibly do with windows without a large development budget and a lot of system-maintenance:
- start+stop xlockmore with a blank screensaver on all machines. - start an arbitary application on all machines (during the session, idle-python, after the session, bzFlag ;) - remotly remove all icons on the desktop/menu - backup the contents of the directory the students were using to save their work on a 5-minute basis. (This was a lesson learnt the hard way, when removing icons, we removed the work-folder. *whoops*)
