Also the same for GOSA. LWAT is in my view a temporary attempt to get the highly needed admin tool, but it has never been accepted as such a tool. It is too buggy and worse maintained from upstream and not usable for greater installations as it misses the needed features for admins like a command line interface. And as it's frontend is written in php, I dislike to use it for remote administration tasks. It was and is the most reason for the primary schools here at home to change back to plain debian installations from Skolelinux. I'm preparing right now a server with plain debian to substitute a Skolelinux one tomorrow. > Cipux is definetely no alternative for Debian Edu. Don't even think > of it.

I hope, in the meantime your ass became painless, so that you are able to tell us more detailed, which are the points of hurt? :) > The teachers are complaining, and the the admin point-of-view is even > worse. > If you go that way, I'm out. Don't be so ultmative, it isn't a good way for life to do so, as I can tell you from my life. ;-) Best regards, Jürgen Leibner
