+<p>Update 2010-07-17: I am aware of another effort to store LTSP
+configuration in LDAP that was created around year 2000 by
+<a href="http://www.pcxperience.com/thinclient/documentation/ldap.html">PC
+Xperience, Inc., 2000</a>. I found its
+<a href="http://people.redhat.com/alikins/ltsp/ldap/">files</a> on a
+personal home page over at redhat.com.</p>

+<p>Thanks to
+<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Opengeodata/~3/wUTCzDZk3lc/project-of-the-week-which-way-home">todays
+opengeodata blog entry</a>, I just discovered that the
+OpenStreetmap.org site have gotten
+<a href="http://nroets.dev.openstreetmap.org/demo/index.html?layers=B000FTFTT">support
+for calculating routes</a>. The support is still experimental and
+only available from the development server, until more experience is
+gathered on the user interface and any scalability issues.</p>
+
+<p>Earlier, the routing I knew about using the OpenStreetmap.org data
+was provided by <a href="http://maps.cloudmade.com/">Cloudmade</a>,
+but having it on the main page is required to make everyone aware of
+the issue. I've had people reject Openstreetmap.org as a viable
+alternative for them because the front page lacked routing support,
+and I hope their needs will be catered for when routing show up on the
+www.openstreetmap.org front page.</p>

+<p>For mange år siden slutte jeg å kjøpe musikk-CDer. Årsaken var at
+musikkbransjen var godt i gang med å selge platene sine med DRM som
+gjorde at jeg ikke fikk spilt av musikken jeg kjøpte på utstyret jeg
+hadde tilgjengelig, dvs. min datamaskin. Det var umulig å se på en
+plate om den var ødelagt eller ikke, og jeg hadde jo allerede en
+anseelig samling med plater, så jeg bestemme meg for å slutte å gi
+penger til en bransje som åpenbart ikke respekterte meg.</p>
+
+<p>Jeg har mange titalls dager med musikk på CD i dag. Det meste er
+lagt i et stort arkiv som kan spilles av fra husets datamaskiner (har
+ikke rukket rippe alt). Jeg ser dermed ikke behovet for å skaffe mer
+musikk. De fleste av mine favoritter er i hus, og jeg er dermed godt
+fornøyd.</p>
+
+<p>Hvis musikkbransjen ønsker mine penger, så må de demonstrere at de
+setter pris på meg som kunde, og ikke skremme meg bort med DRM og
+antydninger om at kundene er kriminelle.</p>
+
+<p>Filmbransjen er like ille, men mens musikk gjerne varer lenge, er
+filmer mer ferskvare. Har dermed ikke helt sluttet å kjøpe filmer, men
+holder meg til DVD-filmer som kan spilles av på mine Linuxbokser.
+Kommer neppe til å ta i bruk Blueray, og ei heller de nye DRM-greiene
+«Ultraviolet» som be annonsert her om dagen.</p>

+<p>The last few months me and the other Debian Edu developers have
+been working hard to get the Debian/Squeeze based version of Debian
+Edu/Skolelinux into shape. This future version will use Kerberos for
+authentication, and services are slowly migrated to single signon,
+getting rid of password questions one at the time.</p>
+
+<p>It will also feature a roaming workstation profile with local home
+directory, for laptops that are only some times on the Skolelinux
+network, and for this profile a shortcut is created in Gnome and KDE
+to gain access to the users home directory on the file server. This
+shortcut uses SMB at the moment, and yesterday I had time to test if
+SMB mounting had started working in KDE after we added the cifs-utils
+package. I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked.</p>
+
+<p>Thanks to the recent changes to our samba configuration to get it
+to use Kerberos for authentication, there were no question about user
+password when mounting the SMB volume. A simple click on the shortcut
+in the KDE menu, and a window with the home directory popped
+up. :)</p>
+
+<p>One step closer to a single signon solution out of the box in
+Debian Edu. We already had PAM, LDAP, IMAP and SMTP in place, and now
+also Samba. Next step is Cups and hopefully also NFS.</p>
+
+<p>We had planned a alpha0 release of Debian Edu for today, but thanks
+to the autobuilder administrators for some architectures being slow to
+sign packages, we are still missing the fixed LTSP package we need for
+the release. It was uploaded three days ago with urgency=high, and if
+it had entered testing yesterday we would have been able to test it in
+time for a alpha0 release today. As the binaries for ia64 and powerpc
+still not uploaded to the Debian archive, we need to delay the alpha
+release another day.</p>
