Ubuntu in an educational institution

Some time ago I found out that in one educational institution in St. Petersburg a computer class was idle due to the fact that there was no licensed OS. When I said that there are operating systems that are free and in no way inferior to the usual Windows, they looked at me like a quack. However, a few days later I appeared with a couple of live-in-the-backpacks and this small event began.

Choose between Ubuntu and Kubuntu (version 9.10). Gnome liked more. Yes, I forgot to say what are the initial conditions in this task. And the initial conditions are as follows:

• 20 computers
• Celeron D 2GHz, RAM 256 Mb
• lack of internet access
• narrowly specialized subjects of study

Actually, on the first visit, we installed the system on several computers for review. The next problem was somehow updating the system. I set up the system at home in a virtual machine and wanted to restore it there, and then somehow create a repository and update all other machines from the network via it. This plan has failed. As a result, I got an iota and I was able to bring to mind the teacher's computer. Only later I installed apt-proxy on it , but I could not use it (because so far it has not saved anything), but the others seem to see their new update server. Actually, using aptoncd today I updated the rest of the computers manually.

We needed a system that could answer the following:

1. Student accounting
2. Grades for work
3. Test tasks
4. Educational materials
5. Ability to create a variety of tests without outside help, etc.

In all respects, the moodle system came up , which, in fact, my friend advised me, and I read on the Internet, and I agreed.

Actually, what we have at the moment: a computer class with fully Russified Ubuntu , a poorly tuned moodle and an immense amount of desire to bring it all to mind.

In conclusion, many will probably ask why I wrote all this. Firstly, my knowledge is very limited and I would be glad to advice that could facilitate the implementation of this idea. Secondly, I am interested in the promotion and development of free technologies. Well, of course, I just wanted to share it.
