[K12OSN] A How-to book for LTSP for schools is available

[Petre Scheie]

While poking around the website of the Shuttleworth Foundation--the folks who sponsor 
Ubuntu and the TuxLabs project for providing K12LTSP-type labs to rural African 
schools--I came across the "tuXlabs Cookbook".  It is literally a book that explains how 
LTSP works, how Open Source works, why it's better, how to install a TuxLab, etc.  It 
seems written for people who may be new or unfamiliar with LTSP.  I suspect they give it 
to the person at the school who will be responsible for the TuxLab.  It has great 
illustrations, and the text is not overly technical.  I haven't read every word of it 
(yet) but I'm REALLY impressed with it.

It's available online in HTML, or as a PDF, and has a Creative Commons 
Attribution-NonCommercial License, meaning it's free for copying and redistributing.

It's 153 pages, which makes it quite complete.  At that count, handing out a copy to 
each of your friends could get rather expensive.  But if you want to hand something to 
the principal or superintendant that they can read offline, it's a great tool.

You can find it at  http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za/Members/jean/cookbook/ .   The 
online HTML version is in the docbook folder.
