Update delivered laptops?
I was asked, if and how already delivered laptops should be updated to new Lubuntu releases. In this case laptops were delivered to a school in Africa (based on 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS), now there is 16.04 LTS available.

Should we install 3rd-party (proprietary) packages?
In the installation of Lubuntu 14.04 (and most other linux distros) one can choose whether to install commercial/proprietary third-party packages that do not necessarily have free licenses. These can be of help to the end users (mp3 decoding, specific drivers for commercial hardware, and unfortunately still Flash)... so do we want to do that, or do we need to distribute the laptops with a...

Clonezilla - extend partition
Hi all, I am trying to restore one of the default images with the -k1 and the -r option which should lead to the partition being expanded and the filesystem to be resized. I have tried that on a way bigger disk (320GB) but the / partition is created with 24GB only. How have you managed to extend the partition/filesystem? Greets Marcus
