First, we need to open the printer setup by: 1) click on "System" in the list of categories on the left and 2) click on the "Printing" icon (see below)

Next, click on the "Add" button at the top of the window that appears.

Now you will see the printer setup wizard (see below). Click first on "AppSocket/HP JetDirect" (see "1" below), then enter the name of your printer in the "Host:" box on the right. There is a sticker on the front of the printer in your room that will tell you what the printer name is. Should be "RICOH-" followed by a number. Don't worry about capitalization, it is not case-sensitive. Click on the "Forward" button at the bottom when this is complete.

After a few moments of searching for a printer driver, your computer will show you the "Choose a driver" screen (see below). Scroll down in the list and select the make of your printer. For example, if you have a Ricoh Aficio SP-3300, select "Ricoh" by clicking on it, then click the "Forward" button at the bottom to go to the next step.

In the window that appears, select the model of the printer you are using. For example, for the Ricoh Aficio SP-3300, click on "SP 3300" on the left side to make sure that it is selected, then click the "Forward" button at the bottom.

In the next screen, do not change anything, just click the "Forward" button at the bottom.

The next screen will ask you to "Describe Printer". You can leave this the way it is if you want, but I prefer to put in a short name for the printer so I can remember which one this netbook is printing to, just in case the netbook finds its way to a different classroom. To do this, enter the same printer name you used in the steps above under "Printer Name" and click the "Forward" button.

Finally, the system will ask you if you want to print a test page. We prefer not to waste the paper, so we recommend clicking on "No".

That's it! You should now be able to print on your classroom printer. Close the window and continue enjoying the use of your netbook.

• User configurable content-based filtering that examines and scores actual page content when determining whether or not to block a page. This is far superior to traditional blacklist filters, in that entire sites no longer have to be blocked.
• Traditional blacklist/whitelist content filtering
• Proxy setting locks for both Firefox and Chrome that prevent the use of proxy settings. Note that in Chrome the user can change the settings, but they never take effect.
• Time of day restrictions that allow/deny network use according to your specifications.

To give it a try, go to http://drop.io/ubermix using Firefox on a system that already has the ubermix installed and click on the ubermix_parental_controls package. For further information on the ubermix, see http://community.saugususd.org/swattec/page/Linux+on+Netbooks

Our requirements include:

• Create an ideal mix of applications for student learning and creativity, while keeping the install as small as possible, so that it fits on solid state netbooks, like the EeePC 900-1000 series
• Limit the amount of disk writes in an effort to extend the life of flash-based storage and reduce power usage
• Create a way for students to self-recover quickly in the event of a system problem
• Create a rapid installation mechanism for quickly deploying hundreds (if not thousands) of netbooks

Mix of Applications

For the ubermix we tried to keep the combined base operating system and applications under 4 Gb, so that it would fit easily on the 4 Gb system drive on most flash-based netbooks. In order to accomplish this, we removed a number of unnecessary utilities and libraries in order to free up as much space as possible. We then added a number of applications that we believe students will make good use of. The default application list on this install includes the following:

 In addition, we changed a number of settings, including:

• Changed/disabled hotkeys to prevent confusion and/or enhance functionality
• Added default settings and plugins to Firefox for such things as Flash, Java, and other media players
• Settings and defaults for a number of other applications to ensure compatibility with smaller screens on netbooks
• Fixed a number of bugs and updated software to ensure proper operation.
• Optional Ubermix Parental Controls that provide content filtering/time controls. See http://community.saugususd.org/swattec/page/Ubermix+Parental+Controls for details.

Limit disk writes and save power

Many netbooks use flash for storage which can only accept a limited number of writes before failure. In addition, writing to the disk in general uses power, which reduces battery life. To remedy this, we disabled as much system logging as possible and do not use swap in this configuration.

Create a way for students to recover quickly in the event of a system failure

While most focus on preventing problems with systems by locking them down, we chose to focus instead on rapid recovery and give students full access to their computer for experimentation and discovery. This enables both students and teachers to explore without fear, knowing that they can quickly get their system back to a default state (literally in seconds), should something go wrong. To accomplish this, we use a storage scheme called UnionFS. The way this works is as follows:

Logically, the storage on the system is divided into two slices: the system software and settings on the left, and the user's files on the right (commonly referred to as the user's "home"). Physically, however, the storage is actually divided into three slices. The two that we care about for this discussion are the left, labeled "User Changes" and "Default System". What UnionFS allows us to do is create a single logical storage space by combining two physical partitions, one of which is read only ("Default System" above) and one which is read/write ("User Changes" above). Any time the user makes any changes, they are all written to the "User Changes" space. No changes are ever made to the "Default System" space. So, when we want to restore the system to its default settings, we simply erase the "User Changes" space, and all is back to normal. The beauty of this is two-fold: the system can be restored to default settings in a matter of seconds, and the action is relatively non-destructive, as none of the user's documents in "User Home" are touched.

A system restore is accomplished by pressing a key at startup and selecting "Restore Factory Settings" from the menu that appears.

Rapid Installation

Lastly, creating a mechanism for rapid installation of this configuration was essential. To accomplish this, we use a USB key to perform the install. No network or other connection is required to complete the installation, which completes in no more than about 4 minutes and 20 seconds. USB keys are inexpensive, so multiple keys can be used simultaneously for rapid deployment on multiple machines, and netbooks all have the capacity to boot from them. The key has a number of features, including a simple way to customize the installation settings to match your environment.

Give it a try!

Updated ubermix-key installer to support system upgrades without loss of user data for all future releases (but not from .64 to .65, due to disk geometry changes) 
Updated image_prep script to no longer delete user/home partitions, as this is no longer necessary with upgrade capability. Re-image of image masters will no longer be necessary.
Added Virtual Microscope (http://virtual.itg.uiuc.edu) and configured for specimens to be stored in user home under Library/virtual-microscope (for easy copying to multiple laptops, as files are large and req much time to download)
