  15 &lt;p&gt;Recently I have spent some time evaluating the multimedia browser
  16 plugins available in Debian Lenny, to see which one we should use by
  17 default in Debian Edu.  We need an embedded video playing plugin with
  18 control buttons to pause or stop the video, and capable of streaming
  19 all the multimedia content available on the web.  The test results and
  20 notes are available on
  21 &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/BrowserMultimedia&quot;&gt;the
  22 Debian wiki&lt;/a&gt;.  I was surprised how few of the plugins are able to
  23 fill this need.  My personal video player favorite, VLC, has a really
  24 bad plugin which fail on a lot of the test pages.  A lot of the MIME
  25 types I would expect to work with any free software player (like
  26 video/ogg), just do not work.  And simple formats like the
  27 audio/x-mplegurl format (m3u playlists), just isn&#39;t supported by the
  28 totem and vlc plugins.  I hope the situation will improve soon.  No
  29 wonder sites use the proprietary Adobe flash to play video.&lt;/p&gt;
  30
  31 &lt;p&gt;For Lenny, we seem to end up with the mplayer plugin.  It seem to
  32 be the only one fitting our needs. :/&lt;/p&gt;

  42 &lt;p&gt;This weekend we had a small developer gathering for Debian Edu in
  43 Oslo.  Most of Saturday was used for the general assemly for the
  44 member organization, but the rest of the weekend I used to tune the
  45 LTSP installation.  LTSP now work out of the box on the 10-network.
  46 Acer Aspire One proved to be a very nice thin client, with both
  47 screen, mouse and keybard in a small box.  Was working on getting the
  48 diskless workstation setup configured out of the box, but did not
  49 finish it before the weekend was up.&lt;/p&gt;
  50
  51 &lt;p&gt;Did not find time to look at the 4 VGA cards in one box we got from
  52 the Brazilian group, so that will have to wait for the next
  53 development gathering.  Would love to have the Debian Edu installer
  54 automatically detect and configure a multiseat setup when it find one
  55 of these cards.&lt;/p&gt;

  67 Et langt steg videre for Debian-prosjektet, og en rekke nye
  68 programpakker blir nå tilgjengelig for de av oss som bruker den
  69 stabile utgaven av Debian.  Neste steg er nå å få
  70 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; /
  71 &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu&lt;/a&gt; ferdig
  72 oppdatert for den nye utgaven, slik at en oppdatert versjon kan
  73 slippes løs på skolene.  Takk til alle debian-utviklerne som har
  74 gjort dette mulig.  Endelig er f.eks. fungerende avhengighetsstyrt
  75 bootsekvens tilgjengelig i stabil utgave, vha pakken
  76 &lt;tt&gt;insserv&lt;/tt&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
