Hi there guys & gals,
I'm a school admin & I'm looking to deploy Ubuntu on Asus eepc netbooks within my school as the current xp home option is sadly lacking.
I have a number of problems that I need to overcome:
Force netbook to connect to wireless, pre-login - Done via the "Available to all users" option in NetworkManager.
Join Ubuntu to domain for authentication - Done via installing & configuring likewise-open.
Allow users to log in without prepending the domain (eg domianname\username), as users won't be able to cope with this - Not done & assistance needed.
Automatically mount the current users Windows network folder upon login. The home folder could possibly be obtained by querying the Active Directory z:\ drive location. - Not done & assistance needed.
I would appreciate assistance very much & I consider that introducing Linux to schools is a very important project.
I have to work at introducing Ubuntu in a windows world. Please don't "help" by saying "Get rid of Windows".
Many thanks,
Chris. :p
