All of the programs and functionality seem to be working well, but there are a few small bugs which I still need to iron out. Firstly the desktop icons are positioned with an absolute x,y values so they are moved out of place on any screen resolution other than 1024x768 (Screenshot: http://tuxedu.org.uk/image/tuxedu-desktop.png - this is what is should/will look like). An error message is shown after the desktop is loaded - this is because I need to re-edit one of the lubuntu xml config files - and you can get still get to a terminal by right clicking on the desktop. I hope to resolve these issues next week. In the meantime I would like feedback  on the games and software I have included and any other issues that arise.  Do you think I need to lock it down completely - or would it make more sense to leave the admin tools etc available to staff who know how to get to them, without making them obvious on the desktop etc.

Hi Tony,

Great stuff! Sadly my bandwidth won't support that size download. Could 
I blagg you to load a bootable install onto a 2Gig USB drive for me to 
pick up wednesday? I will cover £'s for the drive itself.

I was hoping to download a copy of Mageeia during the meeting....

See you weds. and enjoy your weekend :)
