[debian-lan-devel] Debian Local Area Network

[Andreas B. Mundt]

Hi everybody,

this mail is basically here to test the mailing list. 


Debian Local Area Network
=========================

Goal of the Project
-------------------

The goal of the "Debian Local Area Network"-project is to make setting
up a local network with centralized user and machine management,
intranet, etc. as easy as possible in Debian.

To do that, the project aims to provide anything needed for such
systems: Documentation, Code, whatever. Currently, the best way to do
that seems the FAI framework (but the project is in no way limited to
FAI). A set of FAI classes and the corresponding config space has been
prepared to implement a basic Debian-LAN:

 *  A mainserver with Kerberos KDC and LDAP including a FAI-server to
    install cients.
 *  Clients installed over the network from the mainserver,
    automounting their kerberized home directories. 

In a next step, a system comparable to the debian-edu network is
planned, being usefull for small enterprises, associations or
university work groups. (Pure Debian Blends can use that system and
add their metapackages).
