Well, you could have done a search on google or gmane for it ?
I tried to search for "skolelinux standalone laptop" on google, and
guess what was the first document I found ?
Thank you for pointing to this gorgeous document (I knew it was there) -
however there is one question still open:
[cited from document]
Accordingly, there will also be a need to synchronize user files
between laptops and the server installation at school, both to have a
"canonical" place where files are store and to have the assurance of
backup applying to files residing on the Skolelinux mainserver
('tjener').
the way how to syncronise seems very clear. what is not mentioned is:
user accounts. is each laptop thought to be run by one user only - and
that will be the one to sync to when connected? Or did I miss the point
where laptops sync their user data with ldap?
hmm, were did that word canonical come from ? did I ever write this ?
Ahh - someone else added this, And I guess the meaning of canonical is
correct. :)
But yes - there is supposed to be only one user at the laptop, and this
user should use the same username on the laptop as on the main
installation.
then on the laptop that ralfg is using there exist a sync folder
/home/ralfg/sync
on the laptop that finnarne is using, there is a folder
/home/finnarne/sync
and on the main-server (tjener), there is
/skole/tjener/home0/ralfg/sync
/skole/tjener/home0/finnarne/sync
then using unison-gtk I'm able to sync the homedirectories.
Thank you for explaining.
Almost always at your service..
Regards to Oslo
Well i live in Grimstad, in southern of Norway :)
