Hello Everyone.... .
Our College INTERNET LAB (Consist 120 identical Systems, currently running on Win XP) Is Going Switch to Ubuntu....
For This purpose as a FOSS Enthusiast i need some Help from the Community... Bcoz if these things done more than 2000 students will get d chance to Experience The WORLD of Linux....
i already googled all these but still in confusion ... So pls help me.. First up all SORRY for BAD Language..
1. Which Ubuntu Version We have to Choose 8.04 LTS or Latest 9.04 Jaunty ?
2. Which desktop Environment KDE /Gnome ?( but Most of the students not familiar ant linux distro till now...) personally i prefer gnome but some people saying KDE will be good for windows users
3. First The complete Installation Is done on a system with necessary applications... Then we have to clone the complete hard disk to remaining system with working GRUB... but there are some problems
- Only Few of them have optical drive.. So we are not preferring installation through optical media... but all the systems are Connected through High speed N/W.
So Reaming Option is hard disk cloning (so that we can avoid necessary application installation on each systems seperatley if installed on a single system with all settings)- Hard disk cloning through Network
- First Clone the Master installation to a External hard disk & clone to all other systems using this Ext. HDD
So Which Method We have to use n How? . pls explain????
4. After Installation & Network configuration we have to setup Site Blocking & other security features .... so how can i setup SQUID for all these... ?
Thanks in advance......
