Hi,
I plan to use this lab to train blind and visually impaired students in keyboarding and computing.

Hi,
I want to run a web server on a NetVista 2200 (8363). How can I load Gusty on the unit? Also, how can I boot from an LTSP server using another setup of the NetVista?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
Just because I am blind, doesn't mean I'm stupid.

You'll have to wait for somebody who knows networking or a moderator who will compile a collection of links or howto's, to help you set up your lab. It's fairly early in some parts of the globe and it's the holiday season :)
Good luck!

your best bet is to install edubuntu on your machines and then request help as problems may arise,we can't know what they are untill they happen
good luck by the way

Sorry I can't help - I have no idea about networking (can't even get Samba to work on a home network properly).

But I thought I'd suggest that you re-post in the Networking sub-forum, since that is what you are asking for help with...

Hiya,

I think this is the wrong area. Try your luck in networking & wireless, where they will help you get setup. Here is the link - http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=136
