RE: [seul-edu] School count

[Tim Williams <tpw@mtwp.k12.pa.us>]

The Manheim Township SD in Lancaster, PA uses Linux for mail and web servers with all authentication done agains a Linux LDAP server. We have been using this arrangement for more than a year now.

Additionally, we are getting ready to deploy Linux Terminal Server (http://www.ltsp.org) in our high school library. We'll start off with about ten terminals and grow from there.

We are by no strech of the imagination experts with Linux. We know enough to get by. The effort is worth it, though. I can't remember the last time any of the Linux servers have been rebooted. In fact, I don't think we ever have rebooted them.
