Set of "BasicSetup" how-to's" for Lucid Edubuntu

[uwe]

david,

thanks for the good work. I am teaching linux part-time at our small
local school since three years using edubuntu and ltsp.

let me please add my 2 cents to the pages:
- I think each page should have an indication when it was last touched.
each.
- each line in the table or the linked page should have a clear
indication if the process is optional or mandatory.
- maybe a basic setup and an extended version is required. the basic
setup should be short in my eyes.
- e.g. "add users in bulk" is an optional task and not required for a
basic setup (depending on the size of the school of course) but it is
more like a goodie for me. just as the point about the maintenance.

hope this helps a bit.

have a nice weekend,

uwe
