Note the title, "Support list for open source software in schools." Originally this was a list about K12LTSP, because that was pretty much all that was out there. The primary focus is still that. However, we also discuss any other open source software in schools, and we certainly welcome any discussion regarding, for example, Edubuntu and SkoleLinux. BTW, Power Macs make pretty good LTSP thin clients. K12LTSP supports this out of the box. So you might not have to throw them away. --TP <div class="moz-signature">_______________________________ Do you <a href="http://www.gnu.org">GNU</a>? <a href="http://www.cmosnetworks.com">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div> David Hopkins wrote: <blockquote cite="midbad371bd0712010734v7d0fe9a0t4848566d12f52f7a@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Wow! So pulseaudio can work? The biggest issue I have right now is the lack of microphone support at thin clients and if pulseaudio can solve that, then things would be great.

These are great videos. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuVideoIntroduction">https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuVideoIntroduction</a> I'm looking for more advocacy/success story links that I can provide to a school for an introduction to LTSP. Especially stories of costs and maintenance savings would be helpful. The school wants to be "All Mac", but they have about 70 old iMacs that need to be replaced and that's a lot of money for new hardware they don't have and for hardware that may only be good for a handful of years. Nobody is familiar with LTSP at the school. There is a part-time tech person, but they are not familiar with Linux. I think that fact may make it hard for them to understand the benefits of managing a few servers instead of 70 separate individual workstations. There are, though, a number of parents familiar with Linux at the school. There's also the benefits of open source. The freedom part may take a while to sink in, but the cost savings in licensing might be significant. I'm not clear how much it would cost to outfit 70 machines with the software they would need (considering school discounts), but I assume it could be significant.
