[K12OSN] Win4Lin

[norbert]

Hi,

After considering ALL factors specifically in an educational context, I 
wouldn't suggest either solution! We have tried them all and have come 
to the conclusion that, ( and note I have a great deal of disdain for M$ 
products!!! ), the best solution for multiple users where specific 
Windows applications are mandatory is to have a W2K server on the 
K12ltsp network and use rdesktop to open M$ sessions.
Compare cost, compatibility & performance & the W2K server wins out. Now 
note that this uses costing for educational institutions as a benchmark 
for comparison.

regards
norbert
