it would be great to have this documented at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Lenny/HowTo/Administration
It would be great to have it built in already. I don't fancy the
propsect of installing and configuring it 30 or 40 times for all our
workstations.
Which brings up another question: is there a way to centrally manage
the software on skolelinux computers? Currently I just leave them for
a few years, then re-clone with a fresh install or convert them to
thin clients. I'm sure you guys do something clever that I don't know
about, right?
cheers

ps. I would still like to know why I have a shutdown option on debian,
but not on skolelinux
