[K12OSN] thin client laptops/Asus EEE

[Huck]

At the risk of a flame-war...why not go with Windows Terminal Services 
AND LTSP, if it's within budget.
there are some things that are offered for Windows that a Linux solution 
just isn't as...(what's the word...)...Elegant I suppose...

and you can access both from the same thin clients...(perhaps some 
proprietary app that teachers must use Windows for)...and they can use 
thin clients as well...and you don't have to worry about them installing 
rogue software/apps/email tweaks/etc...and only worry about anti-virus 
for 1 MS-server rather than 20+ windows clients.

Just a thought.
