Up and running

So I’m finally posting this from the Ubuntu client at ACST.  It’s not connected to the network yet, just running on DSL for faster internet.  I just configured Edubuntu, Flash, MP3 playback, sound, internet, DOCX support for OpenOffice, First Class and a bunch of other stuff.  I just installed the Dansguardian parental controls through Synaptic.

Everything’s going well.  I just need to test Suspend/Resume and hibernate, though those are low priority systems.  I would like to change the boot order, though.  If the person who turns it on just leaves it, it’ll boot into Windows.  I know it can be done, but how?

I’ll run Ubuntu Update right before class is over

Just got WINE up and running.  It’s nice that it’s now Wine 1.0 RC1.  Maybe things will start working reliably.  I just hope that the school doesn’t have any apps that need Windows support that don’t have Open Source/Linux alternatives
