Virtual machines for students (Linux)?
dagza replied to dagza's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
There is no group / user account requirement on the one I'm looking at - released June 2015. I can't post all of the details publically but it requires investigating commands such as ifconfig, traceroute and top so nothing which requires the state to be preserved between each sessions although it would be nice from an educational point of view. -
Virtual machines for students (Linux)?
dagza replied to dagza's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
That's great. Thanks a lot. I will look into it. -
Hello, I've been looking at the forthcoming Linux controlled assessment from OCR and one solution I have heard of is providing students with the ability to log in to a virtual machine to conduct the Linux tasks. We run mainly Window 7 clients and I don't want to to g down the raspberry pi or Linux on a memory stick route. I'm looking to make contact with a school which has had success in this area so we can ascertain whether this would be a viable solution for us. Thanks Darren.

The kids are getting older and increasingly playing on games and browsing the web. The missus wants her laptop back (I'm not daft enough to install their stuff on my laptop ) so she has dug out an old G3 from the loft. Specs are: G3 400 MHz 192 RAM 10.3.9 OS x 10 Gig HDD My questions are is it worth upgrading anything on it to get it running sweeter and, if so, what can be upgraded? (I know diddly squat about mac hardware). Minimum it needs is wireless if that is possible! The geek in me would like to save it Thanks

Excellent, thanks for all of them. I shall investigate them all. Does Time Machine backup to a normal shared drive on a mac over wireless? Reading Around apple are a little vague about this. Presumably because they want you to get a Time Capsule.

Hello, I am looking to backup photos, itunes, movies and the like from 2 macs at home (1 leopard and 1 tiger). I also want to to backup a couple of vista laptops whilst I am on. 500 gig should do it but 1tb would obviously be better. I am currently favouring getting another disk for the mac mini but would like some software on the macs and windows machine to make it all effortless. Can anyone recommend a solution? Thanks

Hello There is an invisible link to the homepage on the main site banner (top left and appears to be a hyperlink using /templates/eg_default1.5/images/blank.gif). How do I resize and move this? Also, I wish to have 2 so how would I make a copy of this to go underneath it? I can't find it anywhere in joomla so I am assuming it is hard coded. Thanks Darren

I guess the downsides would be if you loose the internet you loose the VLE and also kids managing 2 logins but everything else makes good sense. Does anyone have any ballpark ideas of their costing structure? Thanks
-
Interesting. I have just been looking at a Flash demo and it look promising. Is it hosted on their servers or on a school server?
-
Brilliant, thanks a lot for that. It was navi and mainlevel-nav for anyone searching in the future!

Hello I have been playing with the 1.5 package but need to put more menu options on. When I do they wrap to another line. Is there a way I can reduce the padding around the text in the menu so I can create more space? Thanks

Bulk removal (and addition) of headers and footers in Word
dagza replied to dagza's topic in How do you do....it?
Thanks for the reply. Almost. 100s with different headers and footers so want to strip them all out. I agree. The link I provided seems to work but I would prefer a free app if anyone knows of one. -
Really? I remember email coming first

I can't find this out anywhere. Does iPhone 2.0 do MMS or is it a matter of waiting for a 3rd part app to be added to the store? Ta Darren

Hello I would like to remove a whole load of headers / footers from Word. All googling seems to lead back to this site:sobolsoft This will only do 1 file at a time unless you pay 20 bucks. I don't mind that so much if I have to but is there a free one before I pay? Also, free mass adding of headers and footers would also be good. Darren
