Setting up a new school with Debian Edu/Squeeze
-----------------------------------------------


Petter Reinholdtsen announced on his blog that the next version of Debian
Edu/Squeeze will contain a new tool, called sitesummary2ldapdhcp [9], which
allows all the computers of a school to be quickly set up with a  
minimal number
of manual steps. Once the central server is installed, this tool collects data
from the network to generate system objects in the LDAP database. After a few
modifications of the configuration from a GUI, the network of computers is
ready to use.

A third beta version of Debian Edu based on  "Squeeze" and containing  
this tool
has just been released.
