I'm a high school special education teacher who has been given

I've installed Edubuntu on 3, and would like some direction concerning
creating a 'skeleton' desktop so every new user created has the same
(limited) options.

(I realize this isn't the Edubuntu group, but there is little traffic
on the Edubuntu mailing list and I think this is a Debian/Linux
specific fix.  I could be wrong tho...)

These stations will be used as both learning (I am in special need of
reading software) tools and incentive (my classroom specializes in
'behavorial needs' students.)

Can anyone direct me the to the right sites/documentation?

Thank you.


You could try logging in with user 'sample', fresh, and customize your
standard desktop. Once you're satisfied with it, copy all contents from
/home/sample to /etc/skel . When new users are created, their /home will
be copied from /etc/skel, thus giving you that same standard.

Quick, easy and effective.

Just my $.02

Thank you. I knew there was a simple solution. Been awhile since I 'opened the hood' on the linux configuration (several years...).
