Just forwarding onto any interested teachers or technicians. Looks very interesting .. :-)<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Ron Fabre</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ron@cybersource.com.au">ron@cybersource.com.au</a>></span><br>
Date: 2009/6/2<br><br>What I'm looking for is a handful of volunteers who can test a new education desktop (netbook/notebook/PC) system installation process. This shouldn't take more than five or ten minutes of your time, including writing me an email with your feedback.<br>
<br>
We'll send you the installation software free of charge.<br>
<br>
Background<br>
----------<br>
Cybersource recently developed a fully automated build tool for schools to assist the I.T. personnel (that's you) with building of desktops, notebooks, netbooks, etc.<br>
<br>
The tool is a USB key from which you boot the computer. Upon selecting the installation option, the computer will then do a completely unattended install of Ubuntu including office suite, educational software, and so on. Additionally it will create a secure localadmin account, email and/or display the password, and apply localised 'branding' (your school's wallpaper, screensaver message, bookmarks, homepage, etc).<br>
<br>
The USB key includes options for:<br>
* Standard Ubuntu<br>
* Standard Edubuntu<br>
* Netbook Ubuntu remix<br>
* Diagnostic tools<br>
<br>
Assuming you have authority to install alternate software on your school systems then please reply privately and I'll be happy to send you a USB key (free of cost, of course).<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Ron<br>
