Howdy Rita,
I would be interested in hearing how it goes. We are testing k12ltsp for homeschoolers, probably a server and a diskless workstation and perhaps a Windows laptop from work. Very small.
I love lots of comments also. Sooo
You mentioned your web server and your email server. The k12ltsp install comes with both. I just turned on the web server, that 'required'
clicking on 'Start Here'
click on 'System Settings'
click on 'Service Configuration'
log in as root
click the checkbox for 'Start at Boot' for the 'httpd' service
start the web server with the start button and away you go
check that it worked by entering
http://localhost/
in Mozilla
If you didn't install apache when you built the system, install and repeat the above :-)
email is about as easy. I'll say something if I install it in our lab.
