No Problem, My suggestion to you is to set up printers on a lan which in undoubtedly what you do, and get the drivers for thoes printers, allow each computer to print to one designated printer, this would be the best way to go about this. I also suggest that you from the distro you have on your laptop, with Star/Open Office, FireFox and Flash installed, Configure the splash screen so that it fits the educational purpose, and build that as a CD, from there install it on each machine, next you would coonfigure the printer over the LAN, and finally you have a reliable computer network with the applications you need for less than pocket lint ;) - Hope this project turns out as well as planned.

Hi Everyone,
When I started DSL I had no idea it would grow to be as popular as it is. I didn't think that it would ever be worthy of use in education. I am very happy about DSL's success and I know that it's popularity requires some adjustment in my thinking.

For the next release we are going to strip out all references to 'damn small' and move them over to 'dsl'.

The distribution name will remain the same, but we'll take the steps to make the actual boot process kid friendly.
