Hi ppl,

I am new to this list. I am currently working towards setting up a
computer lab for a govt primary school at Madivala(Bangalore). The
audience is students in class 5, 6 & 7.
I went through the previous posts in the list and found the message
exhange to be just right for me. The details mentioned by sanjeev in
one of his earlier posts would pretty much apply to me as well.

The following needs to be done (during the current summer vacation)
* Putting a curriculum in place
* Putting the right set of softwares resources
* Set up the LAN
Subsequently a set teachers and students are to be trained.

Does any one have a distro customized for this purpose which I can
borrow. Since you guys already have the implementation experience, Can
one of you help me with the same. Laxman from Ahmedabad has mentioned
about a set of 4 CDs that he has just for such purpose. Laxman, can
you please respond to this mail.

I have a set of 10 systems (P-II & P-III).

Also LTSP is something new to me. Am going through the details on the
web. The systems I have already have hard disks. In such a case would
it still be better to go the LTSP way?
I would like to visit "Atma shree education association" sometime to
have a look.

thanks & cheers
Shiv
