Greetings all!

Let me stick my ignorant oar back in the water..... (hit delete if you
desire...)

First, it was a great install.  Good job.
A few issues tho, being nitpicky :)  I wish I could honestly help
building it out rather than just reporting on subjective issues...

Cron:  Moodle is not enable or configured on the end install.  Result.
Lots of emails generate by Cron to Root.

Italc:  I know, not your issue really, but I admit being unable to
find an answer at the moment.....  I generated the new keypair, but I
cannot access any clients. The following is the only excerpt from the
italc_client.log (master is empty)
-- Tue Jun 30 15:51:12 2009: [warning] QDir::mkpath: Empty or null file name(s)

Any clues would be helpful.  I have read the wiki.  Do I need to
rebuild the client images in order for it to work correctly? That I
did not do.

Pulseaudio - does not kill itself. Leaves a lot of 'zombies' around.
If the user reboots the terminal, then the previous session is still
alive.  They tend to accumulate.  Temp workaround was to add a cron
job to the cron.daily that runs at midnight (script checks to ensure
it is the right hour and not 3pm) and do a killall pulseaudio.

Zombie user sessions:  Again, sometimes as a result of the end user
rebooting.  (I was configuring the system while it was in use, and had
to ask a few to restart from time to time). It would leave both
Pulseaudio and gconf running.

Sabayon:  probably an issue with the mainstream install. Does a error
dump after any action.

Yast: GUI errors crop up sometimes.  I need to snapshot them and file
them with the main distro bugzilla.

Since Sabayon is not running, and the EDU switched to a Gnome build, I
don't have a means of editing out the menus to restrict them per
'class'.  I would like to only display the appropriate type of
programs for the age groups that are using it.  I have it broken down
in to elementary and highschool.  I would also like to remove the
'non-working' icons that they should not need from the side menu.  In
other words, simplify it.  They don't need YAST on their menu. :)

Thoughts? Dirty Jokes? Comments?

Thanks!
