One of the current projects for the Exeter lug is to help set up a network for a pre-school, details here http://exeter.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=ltsp_for_the_ark one of the suggestions was to use Mint as the OS on the dekstop, Rick has suggested we use a child friendly interface, Despite efforts Dan S and Myself have not found much that can plug in to Mint, we find alternative distros however. There are a few distros out there that are built with this in mind http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/43224.aspx has a few, I was just wondering if anyone could advise from ACTUAL experiences of working in a pre school and with Linux, either directly or supporting / knowing someone who working in a preschool and is therefore familiar with how the software would tie in with EYFS, ECM and other aspects of the early years curriculum / framework / strategies. We need to lock down the system and allow access ONLY to user programns we want the children to have access too, while at the same time, if an adult logs in they should have fuller acces so they can say configure the system or add / remove software or do other admin tasks. thanks Paul -- -- http://www.zleap.net skype : psutton111 http://www.linkedin.com/pub/paul-sutton/36/595/911 http://www.raspberrypi.org http://www.ubuntu.com I am committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable groups and expect any school or establishment I am involved with to share this commitment. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
