[K12OSN] Which .NET for Linux - Windows Apps in Linux

[William Fragakis]

We've been using RenPlace under K12LTSP for two years. Frequently,
people confuse the server requirements with the client requirements.

We have no trouble using Firefox, Flash and Adobe Reader Linux versions-
we've gone from ver. 4.4 through 6 for the clients..

The print plug in doesn't work, of course, but that's really a non
issue.

OTOH, the server side is more problematic.
