Just another Edublogs.org weblog

Edubuntu, LTSP for Ubuntu

I work for the New York City Department of Education and run an Edubuntu server. I’m currently using a Dell Poweredge server with a P4 2.8ghz cpu and 3gb of ram. Half of my trafic comes through gigabit switches. The clients are HP D530’s with 3ghz P4’s and 512mb Ram. They’re *much* more powerful than necessary, but they were donated and they’re very small.

The NYCDOE provides a few network challenges.

1) TCP/IP traffic requires a proxy setting. Resolving this is easiest achieved by calling:

$ export http_proxy=http://filtr.nycboe.org:8002
