Thanks! :) After doing some reading on it and checking out the screenshots, looks like it could indeed be exactly what I'm looking for. I'll check it out at work after the weekend's over!

Whenever I'm dealing with large numbers of computers that need to have identical windows installations put on them, I love using Symantec/Norton Ghost to image the NTFS partition (just making the...

Thanks for the answer here. Clear, detailed, and concise...the open source world needs more devs like you!

I just "rescued" my boss's inspiron 1525 that he had updated to 10.04 at my behest...

Thanks, Prshah, that one seems to be the simplest and the most effective to just use the software that's already integrated into Ubuntu without adding extras. There's only 4-5 at most lab machines...

The school that I work at uses Ubuntu on some machines in a lab, and we would like to put a monitoring software on them that will display what the students are doing - make sure it's nothing...

This may seem like a dumb question, but while using MDADM, I'd like to make sure that I can mirror a current 160G sata drive to another 160G sata drive. Neither device is the boot filesystem. Both of...

I work at a training center, managing a small lab with computers running Jaunty. I would like these computers to be as locked down as possible while still running a normal copy of Ubuntu + Gnome....

So, for my other question (sorry, just wanted a clarification) Linux in general works this way, with .conf files in folders below the /etc level? Or just ubuntu?

Yeah, I remember those "good ol'"...

So, as a computer teacher, I find this question quite interesting. My students are starting a lesson on the differences between Windows, OS X, and Linux, and I want to figure out how the other two...

All of this work is for a friend's MSI wind, who has no idea about anything about computers and so I just hoped that the Wind and Linux would be the simplest thing for him.

Anyway, already with...

Actually, it was a slightly more embarrassing problem. :redface: I used an autostart linux program which changed the names of my media from my given names, to the defaults (sdb1, sdc1, etc) and so my...

Maybe this? I haven't tried it myself because I'm on my windows machine at the moment, but this looks promising...

Thank you both for your quick responses, I should have clarified more of course. The systems are all either running 8.10 or Windows XP SP3.

I know that that server is being recognized, because I...

I'm running a simple ubuntu server that needs to act as a file server, for computers that are NOT on a domain, but all in different workgroups. The labs use both Linux machines and Windows XP...

How did it go? Did things become functional?

Silly question; but how do I install an older-than-current firmware? :P where do I get it from?

I have a similar-yet-different problem to report. I just did a fresh install onto a Wind with Intrepid, kernel version 2.6.27-7 and immediately, the RT2700e does not work at all. I installed the...

I can confirm that with an identical setup and kernal with a friend's Wind that I'm working on now, I have the same problem as you. I have not yet checked switching this router to another encryption,...

I feel like it just might be too much for me right now, especially when I'm trying to teach classes at the same time as I manage this server. I mean, I'd love to learn, but it's about the level of...

I'm new with Ubuntu Server, having been started out with the simple GUI interfaces of Windows Server 2003, so I'm not quite ready to dive into samba management with just a command line.

GADMIN...

I have my own errors that are similar to yours that I'm about to post about, but in case you didn't solve your problem (you didn't tag the post as solved) here's how you reset your keys:

system ->...

I have about 7 intrepid machines here in a lab, and I'd like to be updating them all from my server using apt-cacher. I have one of the machines as my "tester" that i put apt-cacher on (using the...

I just started using pessulus myself. I have an "administrator" account that I'm working in now, and I have a "student" account for our internet cafe.

so far, pessulus does the main thing I wanted...

Thanks Bucky, but what I'm looking for is a way to switch the entire OS language, including all of the menus, from English to Arabic, in as few steps as possible for my students.

I already have it...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the ability of Ubuntu to switch languages on the fly, hopefully someone can give me some advice for what could be something totally simple to do.

I've...
