Well, The network does.
I'm just curious to see if other colleges/where ever you guys work have better/similarsystems.
AFK I can tell we have a suse/novell/windows system going on...
When you enroll you get a u/n & p/w and you can use that to log on to any computer on the campus, so it's obviously running some sort of domain.
But when you turn the pc's on it looks like they are set to boot from a network image and suse linux loads up loads an image and then loads windows 2000. I assume this is so you if you delete any files on a single pc it doesnt matter as the drive is wiped and the image loaded again on reboot. Anyone know how much bandwidth this takes up? I guess it's like 1gig per image, it takes about 5 minutes from bootup to logon.
Anyway you can use the same u/n and password to check your groupwise email (I guess this is novells version of exchange?) And you can check your groupwise online too, You can also use novell netstorage to access your remote storage! And it also is tuned in to http://moodle.org/ !
I havent had a chance to chat to one of the it support people yet but it seems to be a really cool system.
I also think the staff have some sort of voip voicemail.
So is this sort of setup normal in todays colleges/workplaces?
ps I still need a bag.
