eyeOS in the school: video
By Pau Garcia-Milà | November, 16 2008 | Professional Apps
Two months after the first day in the first School that implemented eyeOS as a full substitute of Windows+Office, we finally received the video that shows eyeOS in that environment. It’s a really important success for us to be able to see all the students and teachers working in an unified environment (with 4 different desktops).
The base system for the 600 laptops is a stripped-down linux that just boots the system and loads a Kiosk mode Firefox with the local eyeOS installation inside, after autoconnecting to the school wi-fi system. After the student/teacher logs in the system, the laptop automounts the local student directory in the laptop file system, so the studen can work outside eyeOS (for example in websites that can receive files from the local computer, or saving images from internet to the PC) since they were always inside their local eyeOS directory.
We will be publishing more information and downloads soon. But as an introduction, here you have the video. Enjoy it!

CONGRATULATIONS!!
This is an amazing video! Celebrating the end and success of the all project! The system seems to be really great, I’m sure Jose and Alex spent some nights on it
Maybe some schools in France soon?

I’d love to get something like this setup at my school. I’d love to see how the in browser OS integrates with the linux OS, what with the file system and all.

Nice one. It would be amazing if my school implemented this.

Thanks a lot for this video. It’s a very good example for a massive implementation. Could you publish method for loading kiosk mode Fifrefox and present the specific interface for primary school ?
Do you use a specific proxy in eyeOS for filtering content or do you use a generic proxy based on school network ?
I try to experiment a similar configuration with 50 childrens in Grenoble (France).
Hope I’ll have success !
