Bannerman Other Config

More Configuration details for Bannerman Road School Machines

Network (default is fine)

Bristol Wireless Branding - includes:

• icons for all the childrens related programs given at the bottom of the DebianJunior page
• grub boot screen with extra instructions for booting
• desktop background

IRC

Email setup

Grub needs to be configured to remove extra options which will only confuse users - (I would recommend leaving most of the choices, they are useful for diagnostic purposes, and we do not fully know the consequences of chooseing one kernel over another for particular hardware yet. Users should be given instruction on the boot screen, and the time out should perhaps be lowered BenjaminGreen)

make default boot kernel - 2.6.7 800x600

add magico to the host files, change sources list to those given at http://magico/ (internal network only - aka. http://10.21.0.5/)

Scripting

as this is being done for 40 machines at least, we will need to write a script. A page is begun called BannermanScript

Server setup

What should go on the server for the school?

• An intranet website or BBS (probably best not PHPBB) possibly based on something like this wiki or PHPWebsite
• Moodle - Cirriculumn management softawre
• IRC server?
• Mail server?
• Gallery?
• remote backup software so they don't loose it all
