Feedback and question from Peru
Hi list,
I had another class of Peruvian teachers today and showed them how to
install Skolelinux. We just installed the standalone machines because
that's the setup they are currently going to use. The feedback about
the installation was: easier than installing Windows. And that
sentence didn't come from me but from a teacher who had never before
installed Linux (though he may have used Pekelin, I'm not sure).
Anyway, good job and let's continue the great work to easy installation!
Now I have two questions. It would be great if somebody could answer
them, even though I know you are all very busy with preparing the
next Skolelinux RC.
First, this was the first time that I actually used the KDE
interface. At the Diego Thomson we install Gnome on the machine. The
KDE menu doesn't seem to be very ordered. For example it always
includes KOffice and OpenOffice.org. Wouldn't it be easier to just
include one of them in the menus? Also the educational software is
nowhere to be seen. There are a few hidden in the Debian menu. But
the KDE menu doesn't show them. Is this a bug (i.e. used to work) or
has this never been considered?
The second question involves network configuration. Is there an easy
KDE GUI for configuring network cards? They will install the systems
in networks where there is no DHCP server. So it should be possible
to configure the network somehow. And I'd really like to give them a
GUI instead of 'vi /etc/network/interfaces' (or pico or kate or
whatever).
Thanks for any help
Patrice
