How to set up a mac computer network for an arts department at an elementary school?

Posted on by

Question by τεκνον θεου: How to set up a mac computer network for an arts department at an elementary school?
I would like to set up a computer lab of 8-10 mac computers that will serve approximately 180 students. Each student will maintain (with help, obviously) a portfolio of work done in art and music class. Therefore, I would like each student to have her own login ID and folder. Since the files will be audio and pictures, storage needs are high.

I will administer the network. I have mac experience, but I am not a sysadmin by any means. I can learn quickly and I am tech savvy, but I hold no illusions of becoming a Unix guru during this school year. The school will be able to get support for installation but I will need to run the thing myself.

Any ideas for hardware/software configurations are welcome. The workstations will likely be mac minis, other than that budget is not a huge issue.

Best answer:

Answer by Icy M
All you’ll probably need will be your Macs, an Apple Airport Base Station, and a Server with Mac OS X server to hold all the files and accounts. You’ll have to make every student’s account 1 by 1, as far as I know.

Your OS X install DVD has drivers on it for all the components, such as the graphics card, wi-fi card, bluetooth, and iSight camera. Just put the disk in and the Boot Camp drivers should install.
