HVJA-the latest school I've installed K12LTSP at(first LDAP/SMB I've
done thanks to Cliebow's saving tip) got a grant for diskless workstations.
Got 20 machines from them and was able to build out an entire lab for
under $5500, inclusive of the big nasty APC UPS for the server, and
switches.
So just for comparison if I were going with $500 workstations all
self-contained and no server it would have cost $10000. Thus we've just
saved $4500 and all of the licensing fees associated with any of the
software(not to mention we wouldn't have a server for
authentication/home directories/file sharing/etc).
Yay is all I can say and THANK YOU FREEGEEK!
