Re: [seul-edu] Linux for Georgia Schools

[Phil Collins <philosofr@yahoo.com>]

Look at Linux Terminal Server Project and its links, especially to
K12LTSP, which has a Red Hat distribution for schools which costs
$15.00 on a set of disks (open source - of course you could download
for free) and allows use of old PCs as terminals, evne without hard
drives (noisy and failure-prone) and floppies (BTW running RAID on
the server is faster and safer than using hard drives on the
desktop).  With icewm, as small window manager on the server, and
bootable NICs the LTSP clients can be up in seconds -- see for
example the site of the Yorktown High School Linux User Group (in
Arlington Virginia, not Yorktown VA).
