[svlug] linux component to a university internet connect CD

[Gordon Vrololjak]

Hello,
At UC Berkeley, to get students and staff connected to the internet, we
distribute a CD that has on it programs that assist people to connect and
use the internet through campus network, and dial up modems.  The cd
supports mac, pc's, and Linux.

The linux component hasn't been updated other than slight changes to the
installation help files.  Currently, it has on it from last year: kppp,
netscape, ppp-primer, ssh22, dip, ethernetHowTo,
ezppp,HardwareHowTo,ppp-2.3.5,PPP-HowTo.  I was wondering what software
you would recommend the CD to have on it?  Our campus has campus dialup
modems, direct ethernet connections, and a wireless network as well (i
think 802.11b) - everything TCP/IP.  Most distributions of linux come with
enough default software in the installation to set up people - but what do
you think would be the best utilities for students to have on the CD to
connect them on linux to the campus network quickly and easily, no matter
which linux distro they have?

Here is info about the CD:
