(forw) Re: Extremadura OpenSource Migration and DebianTimes
Hi,
I think this mail has some items we could use for an article on
DebianTimes. I'm forwarding it to here so that it's not lost.
Cheers,
Andi

Ok, I don't know if this is worthwhile, but in the same linex project,
past july we have migrated all the 50.000 desktops in our high schools
from linex 2004 (a customized frozen sarge in Dec, 2004) to linex 2006
( a customized sarge with backports of gnome 2.14, xorg & openoffice
from etch). In the same process we have migrated more than 100 servers
of these schools from woody to sarge. For the servers, we have prepared
a mondo image for the different brands. All the desktops have been
migrated via network (as they don't have cd reader) using a Debian
version of LCM (http://linuxcm.sourceforge.net/) and a optimized image
we have prepared.
All the sources, images, and documentation are available at
http://administradores.educarex.es/wiki/index.php/Migracion2006 (sorry,
it's only in spanish)
Our intention has been making a really easy migration process to be done
for people with low technical skill, as many system administrators are
people with a short experience in linux, as they have just left the
university, and the university is still too "propietaried". The process
has gone fine and next september all the students and teachers will find
the new desktops keeping their old data, logins, passwords and files.
Regards.
José L.
