====== Deployment Story: Debian Edu / Skolelinux and X2Go (without TJENER) ======

In Debian Edu context the main criticism since the release of Debian Edu / Skolelinux squeeze is: the whole Debian Edu system has become far to complex (LDAP, Kerberos, GOsa², Samba, LTSP, ...). The default Skolelinux system has become more complex. If it has become too complex is another discussion.

However, those who feel overwhelmed by its grown complexity, please consider this approach:

===== Your Gateway =====

  * Install ipFire as a Gateway on some minor hardware
    * Red + Green
interface
    * let the Red interface connect you to the internet
    * Enable DHCP service on the Green interface

===== Basic Skolelinux Installation =====

  * Assemble an average server box:
    * 4 or 8 CPU cores
    * 16GiB or 32GiB RAM
    * two fast hard drives (SSD)
    * 2 network cards
  * Install a Debian Edu / Skolelinux Standalone system (no TJENER!)
  * Make sure that your Skolelinux system's hostname can internally be resolved via DNS. Use the ipFire system to configure this.
  * Test local login, test DNS, install required (educational) software
  * Create more users on the Skolelinux system through the normal Posix tools (''adduser'') or through some fancy user administration GUI (present in KDE / GNOME)

===== Basic X2Go Installation =====

  * Then proceed setting up X2Go Server on the Skolelinux system:
    * Add the X2Go archives for Debian to the Skolelinux system
    * Install the packages ''x2goserver-xsession'' and ''x2goserver-fmbindings'' on the Skolelinux
machine. Optionally, you may want to install the package ''x2godesktopsharing''.
    * Test X2Go access to the Skolelinux system from another client machine that gets hooked up on the Green network interface of the ipFire system

===== X2Go Thin Client Environment =====

  * Then proceeed with setting up the X2Go Thin Client Environment on the Skolelinux system:
    * Install the package ''x2gothinclient_management'' on the Skolelinux system
    * Follow the X2Go TCE documentation in this wiki to get the TCE up and running
    * Make sure you serve the X2Go Thin Clients via the //second// network interface of the Skolelinux system
