person teaching the course but am the Computer System Manager trying
to get a confirmation as to what system specs that are appropriate for the
teaching of VET IT. From your description below, can I ask that if we
were to deploy the HP Pentium 3 PCs with 20GB HD, 320Mb RAM would be sufficient
for the needs of the students. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

as long as you can use them to meet the training package unit of competencies. I
use Pentium 3 PCs with 20 GB HDD, 128Mb RAM (at present), run XP Lite and about
to partition the HDD to load Ubuntu Linux. The students can then load relevant
applications.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">In respect to how long
you may use them for – really depends on your schools commitment to VET IT. I
have some computers that are 4 to 5 years old and still used in my VET IT
course. You need to look and understand the ICA05 Training Package and its
content – try and attend a VITTA run PD session look out for details as I am not
sure when we are running one in Melbourne next.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

currently run an independent network with 4 servers, with various network
operating systems from Server 2003, Linux, and even the old Windows NT ver. 4.0
. The 7 workstations we have attached to this network and a laser printer – all
installed by the students. I use my VET network for the IT Apps students to
understand Networking – protocols, topology, security issues etc. This is a very
hands-on way for the students to understand networking and works
well.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
