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.
We'll send you the installation software free of charge.
Background
----------
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.
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).
The USB key includes options for:
* Standard Ubuntu
* Standard Edubuntu
* Netbook Ubuntu remix
* Diagnostic tools
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).
Best regards
Ron
