Petter Reinholdtsen announced on his blog that
the next version of Debian Edu/Squeeze
will contain a
new
tool, called sitesummary2ldapdhcp, 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.
