[Year 12 IT Apps] database software - sortof

[Brett Groves]

Just get the students to use a LAMP server on a USB stick like Server2go 
or any of it's type. Easy to do and you have phpmyadmin and mysql 
already to go. Instructions to do this can be found in the Edulist 
documents. Just make sure if you have .exe suppression on removable 
drives suppressed on your network that you get the techs to create an 
exception for server2go.exe or whatever you eventually use.
