You might want to look at Nagios (open source software) or PacketShapper, appliance.
OK. Full disclosure here. Though I am the Tech Director at Whitfield, I also work with Educational Collaborators. That being said, Randy Orwin also works with Educational Collaborators and is an INCREDIBLE Moodle trainer. My teachers love him! He ...
The whole idea of Open Source involves development by community. Why not make a group to discuss it?! Are you using Open Source in education? Join and share your experiences!
We have gotten a lot of requests for info on how we build our Linux laptop image. We are working on next year's image now and decided to "wikify" the process. Feel free to watch, comment and/or ask questions.

Linux and Open Source: The epitome of 21st Century Skills - My reflections on the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit
This is a cross-post from our school project blog http://linuxlaptops.blogspot.com.
I know several readers of this blog are reading it for their interest in Linux and not so much for their interest in education. However, let me speak specifically to the educators for a moment. Besides, this is going to be a long post. A lot of us are looking at our schools and seeking ways to improve the application of 21st Century Skills into our environments. Man… Continue

Need Your Help - Linux Desktop Likes and Gripes
I am very excited. I was invited by the Linux Foundation to attend their Collaboration Summit in Austin, TX April 8-10. I will serve on a panel providing end user feedback to the leaders of most of the major development teams in Open Source. I know there are a handful of you out there using Linux Desktop. I started a discussion thread in the Open Source Group on this topic. It would be great if you… Continue

Hope all is going well this school year. We are busy here, that I cannot believe that it is almost April. Will you be going to NECC this year?

Alex Ragone said… - Thanks for the laugh, Alex. We'll slow down with the Disrupting Class conversation. I worked hard not to post anything long. Enjoy the book. It's a great read.

Shabbi Luthra said… - Hi Alex,
The conference is over and was great! Stewart was a wonderful opening keynote presenter. We also had Scott McLeod and David Quinn as the keynote speakers. We had almost 90 participants from 26 overseas American schools! ASB Un-Plugged will be back next year in a new avatar. I'm resurfacing from un-plugged and am catching up with my mail and everything that I'd put on the backburner.

I appreciate your Building MOODLE on SLES 10 document. It will be a big help. My big concern is the backup and restore part. Did you just do a regular back up from the admin block? How did you do the restore? If you have any info about this, that would be helpful. I don't have to do it before July so maybe the best thing is a sit down over lunch (or a beer) there?
THanks

Sister Elizabeth said… - HI,
Thank you, I enjoyed our conversation also. I've been doing some catching up and found your Linux laptop blog. I'm curious why you chose Citrix for your Windows virtualization tool. And have you moved your admin people to Linux? Do you use Blackbaud? Will it work viruailized?

This is interesting as well
Hi Susan ~ I Twitter and I love my PLN on Twitter! I get teaching ideas daily, and I feel like I miss out on great discussion if I am away from Twitter for more than a few days. My Twitter name is BJacketsfan.
For all teachers of 2nd grade.
Thanks Sarah,
I agree with you - what I really want to say is that the 1-1 will enhance and improve our already high quality teaching and that it is part of the "life long learner" that is in our mission statement.
And then I'm done.
However, o...
Dear Cassandra,
Thanks for the help. I have visited the Primary Mathematics series website and sent an email to their school contact email address. If I don't hear something soon I will send you an email request for your rep.
