Petter Reinholdtsen: Skolelinux 6 got a video review from Pcwizz

Via +twitter +I just discovered that Pcwizz have +done a video +review on Youtube of Skolelinux +/ Debian Edu version 6. He installed the standalone profile and +the video show a walk-through of of the menu content, demonstration of +a few programs and his view of our distribution.

+ +

There is also some really nice quotes (transcribed by me, might +have heard wrong). While looking thought the Graphics menu:

+ +

+"Basically everything you ever need in a school environment." +

+ +

And as a general evaluation of the entire distribution:

+ +

+"So, yeah, a bit bloated. It kept all the Debian stuff in there, just +to keep it nice and GNU. So, I do not want to go on about it, but +lets give it 7 out of 10. I am not going to use it. That is because +I am not deploying a school network. There may be some mythical +feature to help you deploy Skolelinux on a school network." +

+ +

To bad he did not test the server profile, and discovered the PXE +installation option. It make it possible to install only the main +server from CD, and the rest of the machines via the net, and might be +considered the mythical feature he talk about. :)

+ +

While looking through the menus, there is also this funny comment +about the part of the K menu generated from the Debian menu subsystem: + +

+"[The K menu] have a special Debian section for software that no-one +is going to look at, because it contain lots of junky stuff that you +actually don't need in the education distribution, but have just been +included because it isn't stripped out for some reason." +

+ +

I guess it is yet another argument for merging the Debian menu and +Gnome/KDE desktop menu entries into +one +consistent menu system instead of two incomplete and partly +inconsistent menu systems.

Sleep until morning - home automation for the kids

10th February 2013

- -

With kids in the house, one challenge is getting them to sleep -during the night and wake up when it is morning. I mean, when I -believe it is morning, and not two hours earlier. In our household we -have decided that 07:00 is the turning point, but getting the kids to -sleep until 07:00 is a small challenge every day. They have adapted -quite well, and rarely wake up at 05:00 any more, but some times wake -up at times like 05:50, 06:15, 06:30 or 06:45, and it is hard to put -the awake one to bed again without disturbing and waking the rest. -And I understand perfectly well that they fail to sleep until 07:00 -some times, as there is no way for them to know if it is before or -after the magic moment without coming and asking us parents.

- -

But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem. It -involve home automation. A few years ago I bought a -Tellstick and RF -switches at the local Clas -Ohlson shop, allowing me to control lights and other electrical -gadgets using my Linux server. When I moved from the old flat to a -small house, I put away all this equipment as most of the lighting in -the house was not using wall sockets and thus not easy to connect to -the gadgets I had. But recently I bought a -Tellstick -Net to be able to read sensor input as well as control power -sockets. I want to control ovens in the basement to avoid the pipes -to freeze, and monitor the humidity to detect flooding. The default -setup for Tellstick Net is to be controlled by the vendor web service, -which to me is a security problem, but it is also possible to build -ones own -firmware -with local access instead of being controlled by a Swedish -company, thanks to the release of the GPL licensed firmware source -code. I plan to get that running before I let it control anything -important. But while working on this, one idea to make it easier for -the kids came to me yesterday. We can set up a night light controlled -by the computer, and turn it automatically on at 07:00. The kids can -then check the light in the morning to know if they are supposed to -get up or not. They joined me in setting everything up, and I -repeated the concept several times before bed times to make sure they -remembered to check the light before getting up in the morning.

- -

We tested it this morning, and all the kids stayed in bed until -after 07:00, and every one of them commented on the fact that the -"morning light" was turned on and signalled that the morning had -arrived. So this look like a success, and I am excited to see how -this develops the next few days. :) I really hope this can allow us -all to sleep a bit longer in the morning.

- -

A nice advantage of this setup is that we can remote control when -to tell the kids to get up. We do not have to wait until 07:00, and -can also delay it if we want to.

+ Skolelinux 6 got a video review from Pcwizz +

+ 17th March 2013 +

+ +

There is also some really nice quotes (transcribed by me, might +have heard wrong). While looking thought the Graphics menu:

+ +

+"Basically everything you ever need in a school environment." +

+ +

And as a general evaluation of the entire distribution:

+ +

+"So, yeah, a bit bloated. It kept all the Debian stuff in there, just +to keep it nice and GNU. So, I do not want to go on about it, but +lets give it 7 out of 10. I am not going to use it. That is because +I am not deploying a school network. There may be some mythical +feature to help you deploy Skolelinux on a school network." +

+ +

While looking through the menus, there is also this funny comment +about the part of the K menu generated from the Debian menu subsystem: + +

+"[The K menu] have a special Debian section for software that no-one +is going to look at, because it contain lots of junky stuff that you +actually don't need in the education distribution, but have just been +included because it isn't stripped out for some reason." +

+ +

I guess it is yet another argument for merging the Debian menu and +Gnome/KDE desktop menu entries into +one +consistent menu system instead of two incomplete and partly +inconsistent menu systems.

+ Skolelinux 6 got a video review from Pcwizz +

+ 17th March 2013 +

+ +

There is also some really nice quotes (transcribed by me, might +have heard wrong). While looking thought the Graphics menu:

+ +

+"Basically everything you ever need in a school environment." +

+ +

And as a general evaluation of the entire distribution:

+ +

+"So, yeah, a bit bloated. It kept all the Debian stuff in there, just +to keep it nice and GNU. So, I do not want to go on about it, but +lets give it 7 out of 10. I am not going to use it. That is because +I am not deploying a school network. There may be some mythical +feature to help you deploy Skolelinux on a school network." +

+ +

While looking through the menus, there is also this funny comment +about the part of the K menu generated from the Debian menu subsystem: + +

+"[The K menu] have a special Debian section for software that no-one +is going to look at, because it contain lots of junky stuff that you +actually don't need in the education distribution, but have just been +included because it isn't stripped out for some reason." +

+ +

I guess it is yet another argument for merging the Debian menu and +Gnome/KDE desktop menu entries into +one +consistent menu system instead of two incomplete and partly +inconsistent menu systems.

+ +
