I'm an elementary school librarian, and my school is experimenting w/ a Linux platform computer lab. I am end user, and don't know much about Linux or available software. Can anyone recommend appropriate educational software for younger students?

The laptop has a pcmcia wifi card, 4gb hard drive space, 128mb ram, and is a Pentium II 400mhz. Can you recommend a linux distro for me? I won't use any features other than freenx and wifi, so i'm sure this laptop is fast enough for that.

I am having difficulty in deciding on a linux laptop for going to school. I will be attending college for a Bachelor in Flight Technology and I need a notebook to take to class with me for notes (So nothing too awkward and heavy). I would prefer one without Windows pre-installed.So far I have considered:-Verix 1656 from zareason, however I am concerned about battery life and screen brightness (I like very dim screens, that which can be obtained with LED backlighting)-Serval Professional from system76, however again I am concerned about battery life (I hear it only gets about 1 hour)-Apple Macbook Pro, however it seems way too expensive for what it offers and might not have the best linux support.
For my battery life concerns, I believe that I could probably get away with running a text editor on the command line without having to boot into a GUI so I can save battery life. I also don't want to get a netbook because I'm likely to do *some* gaming, programming and 3d modeling in my spare time. Are there any other notebooks that I should consider from other places before making my decision? I would try emailing the college, but they are busy with admissions stuff and probably won't care too much seeing as a computer is not a course requirement.
I am trying to tunnel through my college's free AP so I can get access to protocols outside of http and https. The school has an in-browser DNS redirect until you log in.The output of "cat /proc/version" on the server OS is "Linux version 2.6.35-27-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linar o 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) ) #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:29 UTC 2011" The client OS is Windows 7. What I have done so far is use Proxy Cap to redirect applications to a Putty tunnel connected to the server. Eventually I want to tunnel that SSH connection through my school's firewall, so that I can keep encryption and have a reasonable amount of ease with setup.
I am not particularly educated on the inner workings of the DNS redirecting so I was not sure what to search for. My attempts to connect Firefox over normal http proxies failed and since all ports are blocked besides http and https I didn't attempt any socks or SSH. I have also tried simply hosting the SSH server on http ports with little success. I hope that I can do this without having to purchase a domain, but that's starting to seem like that won't be the case.
i hav 2 laptops but there is only one LAN port and i recently splitted them with my own router, the problem is the internet works fine, but i cannot access the schools's network e.g. my friend's shared folder in another room, the school's shared folder, etc. i can only access my own local router network.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 9.10 onto my laptop, and having wireless issue. I was able to connect to wireless at home, but cannot at school. Then recently, I reformatted by desktop at home, and now I can no longer connect to my own connection. But yet, I'm able to connect to my neighbor. I considered installing ndisgtk package, but then i thought if I'm able to connect to some connections that means I'm not missing windows driver (maybe I'm wrong ).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop with broadcom BCM4322 wireless card.Basically what keeps happening is my wireless will stop working, then network manager will notify me that I have lost signal. It will then try and reconnect, but it never seems to be successful. The only way I can get the wireless to work again is if I disable wireless then re-enable wireless (or do a complete system restart).
However, it does not seem to have this problem at home. The only difference I can think of from home and school is either encryption types (the university uses WEP, I use WPA) or the fact that at home there is only one access point and at university there are multiple access points all with the same SSID.Anyone have any idea how to make my laptop stop dropping connection all the time?
I am trying to map to my schools shares VIA their network.
Normally on windows, I would just say Run and type the network path and it would open a window with the folders.
the path is \KNA11.XX.ON.CA you need to be on our VPN to connect to it, which I am.
How do i access this directory in ubuntu? And even better, make it a permanent shortcut or mountpoint so that i can easily access it later without having to re-mount it.
I just did an update on an Ubuntu 10.4 LTS machine and it wanted to reboot so I did now I can't even get to the console. I think it's hanging up somewhere on the start up but thanks to the Microsoft like tell you nothing display I don't know for sure or what exactly is hanging up. The only thing the system responds too is ctrl alt del to reboot. Can't even ping it or log in via SSH. I already installed the same updates on this machine but luckily did not reboot it yet. I'm willing to bet whatever package broke the other one will break on this one and if I can figure out where it's breaking I can figure out how to fix it. That means seeing it start up not the blank screen I'm getting. Been meaning to find out about this anyway as the graphics thing annoys me to no end. I prefer to see what services error or fail rather than find out weeks later when I thought my back up service was running and it wasn't or that snort never did run or I'm looking through the logs and discover there's a problem that's been going on for weeks that I never noticed until I went through the logs about something else.
So how do you switch to a detailed start up mode?
I am putting together a server and computer lab at my school for Standardized testing, and am planning on using debian for it. But first, i must prove to the school board that this is a possible and viable option, so right now it is one pc with 1 gig ram (Going to be the server for this experiment), and two others with around 512 mb ram.the problem with all this is, the computers in the lab cannot have hard drives, as there is some sort of licencing issue. So I need to be able to have these two testing computers boot from the server's hard drive.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI installed Debian sid recently. I installed the B43 driver and wireless is working just fine at home and elsewhere. I can't connect to the wireless networks at school though. There are two networks, one is unsecured (and you have to enter your login details after connecting - I can't connect at all though), the other is secured. I was previously using Ubuntu, with network manager, and I have all my settings the same for the secured network as I did in Ubuntu. In Ubuntu I can connect to both networks just fine. In Debian I can't.

But when I am in my school, it just stops working at all. It didn't use to be like that. It used to work in school too few weeks before. But I don't know what happened all of a sudden. I have checked with my school system administrator to know if there has been any change with the network. He said the network has always been the same.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt home, I can easily connect to my home network with ubuntu. But at school, things are differently. The wireless security is tighter, and I need more then just my username and password to connect.
(See attachment for Screenshot)
The last two lines, okay, but I seem to need a certificate, and that MSCHAPv2, Anonimous identity. I don't understand what I need to enter in those fields. I only got a username and password from school and that's all I need for windows. So why does Ubuntu want/need more info?

Im trying to dual boot Vista/Fedora 10 for school purposes. I have some linux classes on my required classes. Over the past 3 days Ive had one or the other booting correctly. My harddrive layout
Partition 0: Recovery
Partition 1: Vista
Partition 2: Fedora 10
Partition 3: Linux Swap
I have both of them installed on the harddrive. Im using EasyBCD 1.7.2 to manage the bootloader. Last time I installed Fedora I did not install a bootloader in the options. Everytime I do, Vista appears to load properly but then my Gateway recovery console wants to run and asks me to do a restore and of course after the restore Fedora dies in a sense.
So right now I have Vista working, Fedora on partition 2 and it will not load. Any ideas on where to go from here to get my Fedora partition bootable.

There's an Ubuntu variant of Nautilus called Elementary Nautilus which aims for a tighter and sleeker Nautilus as opposed to the stock GNOME one.The modified one is really good, sleek and has RGBA (transparency support) through Metacity compositing enabled.I've created a set of RPMs and they should be building on OBS anytime now. Wanted to get the community's opinion on this modified nautilus build. Screenshots follow...

I got a big? issue with Nautilus in Ubuntu 11.04.
Here i copy the the terminal messages when i log as a root user code...
When i clic on the trash, the app crashes and closes. When I try to move some protected files to the trash -wich i can't delete without login in terminal as root user-, the app crashes again.
How can i fix this? I installed -I'm new in Ubuntu, but i love it- the Nautilus Elementary 2.32.2 as i saw in those classics "10 things to do after installing Ubuntu Natty...".

I tried to drag archive to 'Appearance Preferences', but it "...does not appear to be a valid theme.". I tried to drag extracted archive - "...can't move directory over directory.". Once I somehow get it to count as installed, but when I clicked on it - it was missing 'Elementary GTK+' or something like that... Ohh, I tried to run file 'elementary', but after 'Run' button is pressed - it does ignore it. No further action or whatever. How to install this and, maybe, other themes for Debian 6.0.2?
P.S. Before that all I installed 'gtk2-engines-murrine' as well as said in 'guide' in DeviantART.
Just came across these on a google search, made available three days ago.[URL]..More screens:
