[Opensource] Moodle on a USB update

[Jack Matthews]

OK, I finally managed to plug my USB server into a Windows 2003 Server.  I tried it out with the students and it worked perfectly, incedently, I checked out how many were able to complete the quiz on a Windows XP machine and it was exactly 10 (hence the 10 connection limit).  This basically means:

1.  You cannot have more than 10 people runnin a quiz from an XP machine without hacking the software
2.  You can run an Apache server from a USB 2 drive and have 25 students running a Moodle quiz without problems (The Server has 2GB ram although I think it would have worked with 512 also).  
3. I was using the Server2Go package as my USB server.  This package may also be useful for those witshing to set up web servers with student on their own  USB drive.  I will be doing it with my students soon.
