[K12OSN] Running NovaNet on clients

[Byron Kapali]

Scott,
I had a long discussion with a NovaNet trainer, Alfie Perrin, about this 
same topic.  She mentioned that NovaNet ran on unix way back when but no 
longer.  It is  a PC thing now...not even sure if they have a Mac 
version.  I then proceeded to get a straight answer from their Tech 
Support and again they said no Linux version.

Wine is a different story.  I never tried it that way.  When you install 
NovaNet it is a two part install. 1) The navigation port itself 2) The 
curriculum.  You may have a tough time getting the curriculum to install 
because it wants QuickTime or Windows Media player to be installed so it 
can play its embedded movies. 

If you get it to work, please let me know.

Byron
