Hello,

I would like to announce the availability of GNU Linux Utilities for
Education, GLUE, CDROM.
You can browse the CD and install packages from it.
Compilers for logo, basic, pascal etc are include.
Lot of tutorials on various topics.
Graphics Programming on GNU/Linux for the "Turbo C"  fellows.

The new version includes an installation script and does the following

1. Converts the GNU/Linux installed machine to a Terminal Server.
Installation and configuration of LTS is done by the script.
If the terminal video cards are autodetected by XFree86-4, they just
boot from the ether-boot floppy created.
(tested on redhat 7.1 & 7.3 )

2. Installs and configures IceWM (a fast, flexible window manager
ideal for terminal servers) and puts a menu tailored for school use.

3. Installs other RPM & TGZ packages from CD

Anybody interested in getting a copy may contact

Summary: stick CD into machine, boot, wait 30 minutes, walk away leaving a 
complete working Linux Terminal Server loaded with educational goodies.

Cheers; Leon
