+        <p>The next version of <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu
+/ Skolelinux</a> will include a new tool
+<tt>sitesummary2ldapdhcp</tt>, which can be used to quickly set up all
+the computers in a school without much manual labour.  Here is a short
+summary on how to use it to set up a new school.</p>
+
+<p>First, install a combined Main Server and Thin Client Server as the
+central server in the network.  Next, PXE boot all the client machines
+as thin clients and wait 5 minutes after the last client booted to
+allow the clients report their existence to the central server.  When
+this is done, log on to the central server and run
+<tt>sitesummary2ldapdhcp</tt> in the <tt>konsole</tt> to use the
+collected information to generate system objects in LDAP.  The output
+will look similar to this:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+% sitesummary2ldapdhcp 
+info: Updating machine tjener.intern [10.0.2.2] id ether-00:01:02:03:04:05.
+info: Create GOsa machine for auto-mac-00-01-02-03-04-06 [10.0.16.20] id ether-00:01:02:03:04:06.
+
+Enter password if you want to activate these changes, and ^c to abort.
+
+Connecting to LDAP as cn=admin,ou=ldap-access,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
+enter password: *******
+% 
+</pre></blockquote></p>
+
+<p>After providing the LDAP administrative password (the same as the
+root password set during installation), the LDAP database will be
+populated with system objects for each PXE booted machine with
+automatically generated names.  The final step to set up the school is
+then to log into <a href="https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa/">GOsa</a>,
+the web based user, group and system administration system to change
+system names, add systems to the correct host groups and finally
+enable DHCP and DNS for the systems.  All clients that should be used
+as diskless workstations should be added to the workstation-hosts
+group.  After this is done, all computers can be booted again via PXE
+and get their assigned names and group based configuration
+automatically.</p>
+
+<p>We plan to release beta3 with the updated version of this feature
+enabled this weekend.  You might want to give it a try.</p>
