Hello Alan,
As much as I'd like to head to El Paso it is a little far.... :-) . however it would be
very simple to setup a Mobillinuxbus.
In a location where you have power & network connectivity install a
K12LTSP server with two ethernet controllers (one if you're not
connnecting to the internet), eth0 for your local lan (to the hub)
& eth1 to the isp/internet connection.
The workstations connect to the hub, and depending on the type of
workstations you may have to modify the default dhcpd.conf &
lts.conf files.
Although a wired connection is easier (better) you can alos setup a
wireless connection as long as it a support NIC under Linux.
For specs (and this is not a commercial pun!! ) you can
check my site at www.xtlabs.org
good luck

Happy New Year to
all!
With some time in my hands over the holidays I began exploring the
possibility of converting a district bus into a LinuxMobile, so the
gospel can be carried to all 86 schools in my district and perhaps into
several community events also. There is surprisingly little information
about this process "out there" (I did find the SourceForge project to
have a USB stick that loads a complete install), so I decided to post a
query and see if anybody in this list has information on specs,
conversion, equipment, etc. The idea is to have a server and several
workstations wired and have the capability of pulling up to a site,
plugging in for electricity and LAN (wireless?) and being able to then
show and tell.
Advise gladly accepted - if you know of a company or individual who
does this type of custom work, please forward the information.
Likewise, if the company you work for might be interested in becoming a
partner, please advise.
Thanks
