CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES ECON OMIC ESTIMATION 85,000,000 €

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES WHAT'S mEDUXa An open software distribution, developed with educational aims as part of the MEDUSA project. It's financed by the Canary Islands' Department of Education, Culture and Sports. MEDUSA structure on Windows. Dual boot in clients. Identical functions on both platforms. Developed by 5 Canary Open Software companies (ESLIC): i Fotón Sistemas Inteligentes ii Conysis Inv. y Des. iii Ejercicios Resueltos iv Neuroomante v Bufete Fajardo López mEDUXa is made-up of five different parts: a. the model b. the installer c. the updater d. monitoring e. contents

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES GENERAL CONDITIONS Developed, wherever possible, with free software license as defined in the Debian guidelines. Includes applications which are free for educational use only. No license barriers to future development, by the Education Dept., related to mEDUXa. The estable version will be released with a report on licenses.

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES THE DISTRIBUTION Debian GNU/Linux (Sarge) KDE 3.4.1 Wide selection of educational software Pre-installed and pre-configured + Validates against Active Directory Kerberos + LDAP Self-mounting of remote volumes ($HOME) WiFi Validation WPA m EDUXa Authenticated against RADIUS / Active Directory Medusa corporate image

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES THE INSTALLER On new PCs, the mEDUXa model will be pre-installed on the hard drive. On PCs in use, an installer will be developed Allows partitioning, formatting and mEDUXa system dumping onto the hard drive. Must co-exist with MS Windows istallation for dual boot. Based on the Debian GNU/Linux Sarge installer.

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES UPDATING SYSTEM Needed to maintain functionality and security. Flexible, allowing programming and reconfiguration of the distribution. Based on debian (sarge) packages and on debian apt system. Own package repository (on our central repository server). Virtual packages to add new packages or group them according to needs. Unattended installation.

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES UPDATING PROCESS Automatic previous testing of the new packages and installers. Automatic distribution to the schools' servers. On these are kept all the updating packages since the release of the distro. When the computers are turned on, they update and locally load the pending packages. When the computers are turned off, the pending packages are installed (unattended). Any issues are reported to the monitoring system

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES THE CENTRAL SERVER Server with Debian OS + XEN and the following services: Monitoring system. Central repository of model packages for the updating system. Project back-up Eduwiki (contents tool). Debian mirror

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES CHOICE OF DESKTOP Two choices had to be made: 1: light weight or robust desktop? After trials on the oldest computers we chose to use a robust one 2: KDE or GNOME?

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES WHY KDE? Solid techincal guarantee Large community Integration between various user applications Kiosk mode. KDE-Edu project - large number of quality educational applications Our own learning experience Changing the desktop language is simple

CONSEJ ERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN CULTURA Y DEPORTES DISADVANTAGES OF KDE i.Very robust, slows down the machines used in the first phase of the project (PIII 1GHz 128 MB RAM). ii. Other Spanish educational projects have chosen gnome, so technical interaction will be harder. iii. Some applications and utilities are not desirable, but it's not technically adequate to remove them.
