Paul and I would be really interested in taking our 
project, to the Bett show.

SuSe Mailing list but hey;

Its a point and click setup installation for secondary 
schools. Basically some very nice glossy documentation 
takes you though a Mandrake 10 installation, and then you 
use our setup up disk to create the following:

Primary Domain server, File servers, Print server, Proxy 
server, Intranet server, firewall and a few more. 
Everything is point and click for setup and you don't have 
to go into the console or edit and files or anything that 
may seem scary.

We are trying to use it as a first step, as it uses samba 
to connect M$ 2000/XP and also includes all the files to 
setup profiles and login scripts for those clients as 
well.

The mailing list is here:

I have had a good response of around 6 schools, 2 
definents. Anyone is welcome to see our visitor school in 
Lenham Kent which is using the system at this very moment.

Have resisted posting this till now as we have only be 
working on it a week and a half!!! and theres only two of 
us!

On testing a noob can setup the system with no help 
(depending on ICT skills) between 30 minutes to 1 hour. 
Pauls set it up in 20 minutes but hey, that doesn't count.
