Re: [seul-edu] encyclopedia

This school has a terribly slow internet connection so I don't think that
would work out. Does anyone know the legal implications of using VMware or
Win4Lin on a terminal server. does one need to have multiple windows
licenses? (since it would be used by 20-30 kids with the same windows disk
image) I have considered this but I can not find anything to see whether I am
allowed to do this. having to get licenses is not an option, money is the #1
issue at this school.

Thanks,

David
