[K12OSN] Any LTSP users in the San Francisco area?

[Tom Wolfe]

On the READ180 front I have finally got it to work on Edubuntu Gutsy under 
Wine but haven't worked out how to get the sound & microphone working yet. 
But that was on 64-bit, now I've reverted to 32-bit due to 
Flash-with-sound woes so maybe I should give it another shot on 32-bit.

Regards,
Tom Wolfe

I have more trouble on some xp clients that are in a bad section of network(Poor functioning media converters). That is because the "client" software for enterprise edition is really just a flash player that pulls all the info from the server through http. I'm hoping with the new flash plugin I'll see even better performance since my reading counts uses the native flash player, not a wine/crossover player. I'll admit we only have SRC and SRI though, not Read 180 which is apparently a bigger hassle to get going. There is supposed to be a Novell(SUSE) server solution for SRI/SRC but for some reason we still went with a server 2003 setup. I still wonder if it would work even better that way though.
