I'm currently helping a school to set up a brand new computer network for use by the teachers, students and administrative personnel. The school will educate upper secondary students (i.e. Swedish gymnasium). The network will be used mainly for basic computer operations such as word processing, calculations and surfing the web, but there will also be the need for some more unconventional applications like CAD and scientific applications. Each user in the organisation will have a home directory for storing files, a mail address and eventually a www-folder. Another request is the ability for users to access the network from the outside via VPN. The school's management is interested in looking at a Linux based solution as an alternative to e.g. a Windows based solution, but would like to have a reference installation where we can interview them about their experiences. If you know any of any school with a similar installation, preferably in Sweden, I'll be glad to know. Kind regards, Ola Theander
