Your Very Own Mathweb

• Really one of the keys to success for the project has been the  fact that the Math Department had a server on the intranet to host projects.

• Administration was local and didn't have too many layers.

• The server was not viewed as "mission critical" and since it was on the intranet, there were not issues like getting the "style" approved.

• The machine was based on Linux, and so licensing was free.

• Probably the easiest option for student web pages is SME. A howto to manage the student file server setup at Culver is on the CD.

• The current Culver Mathweb is based on Whitebox Enterprise Linux, and it has a howto on the CD too.

• If you decide to put one of these into service, contact Tom Haynes. He has a beta version of an install CD.
