thank you very much.

While at first, CIPUX is made to work on a skolelinux/debian-edu
server where a LDAP server administer the users and many other
services right from the installation, can CIPUX also be installed, and
how on a LTSP server that does *not* use LDAP (such as EDUBUNTU).

I think such a system administration software would be very useful in
Edubuntu and would very well complement Schooltool the school
administration system in developpement with support from  Mark
Shutteworth as the ubuntu galaxy.

Thank you very much again,

Nicolas
