Ubuntu Links

Jeremiah of Par!x compiled a list of useful Ubuntu guides here. Guess I’ll need those soon enough.

Ubuntu sounding a bell

We have been talking about getting our school bell replaced by a more modern system. There already is a PA loudspeaker in every classroom. We could use this as a bell to signal when it’s time for a break. However we’d require a computer dedicated to this in the teachers’ lounge. There still is lots of hardware junk in our basement, so I thought it should be possible to revive some 75 MHz Pentium I computer to do this. Probably Ubuntu Linux might be a good choice for an OS that’s not going to waste resources too much. Anyway, I found some instructions on installing it here, if you care to take a look yourself.
