In order to make this exercise a sustainable one, it is necessary to take great care in the selection of the hardware to be used in this. As the developments of computer hardware are going very fast, it is not doable to mention exactly what type of computer equipment is needed. In stead, thi… bart recommendations Mon, 17 Nov 2008 05:29:17 +0100 http://wiki.locolab.open.org.kh/sidebar?rev=1226888801&do=diff * Start * Locolab * Hardware * Software * Recommendations bart Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:26:41 +0100 http://wiki.locolab.open.org.kh/locolab/goals?rev=1214194840&do=diff Goals * To define recommendations for implementation of sustainable computer facilities that are adequate to the teaching and learning goals of the education system. * To raise awareness of the need to use low power consumption and low maintenance computers in schools, and the fact that they are available, and sufficient for most educational applications. bart locolab Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:20:40 +0100 http://wiki.locolab.open.org.kh/hardware/test_results?rev=1213946255&do=diff In this page, the results of the tests are presented. Several problems came up when testing the power consumption of the boards and computer systems present in the Locolab. In order to correctly measure the power consumption, the power supply needs to be the same for all equipment measured. However, the Intel Icbook comes with it's own PSU, and the Ebox 4300 also comes with it's own powersupply. We decided to use the alternative powersupplies, as the efficiency will not be dramatically diffe… bart hardware Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:17:35 +0100 http://wiki.locolab.open.org.kh/locolab/scenario2?rev=1213869470&do=diff In this setup, there is one central terminal server running Linux, and all the clients are diskless thin clients. These thin clients are capable of booting over the network (PXE) and have minimal hardware requirements (128 MB of RAM and a small CPU is enough). There are a number of important advantages to this system: bart locolab Thu, 19 Jun 2008 11:57:50 +0100 http://wiki.locolab.open.org.kh/locolab/scenario3?rev=1213869377&do=diff This scenario is the same as scenario 2, but based on Microsofts' Windows platform. The costs, especially the license costs will be very high in this scenario. Diskless clients are not possible in this scenario so there must be an installation of windows XP embedded, or a small Linux installation on the client, in order to connect to the server. Therefor all the hardware recommendations are the same, except that the clients need a small harddisk. This can be a flash module of 256 MB. bart locolab Thu, 19 Jun 2008 11:56:17 +0100
