[K12OSN] thin client laptops/Asus EEE

[Glenn Roesener]

Huck,
I'm setting my flame-thrower for "Fricasee"...

Actually, that might settle a problem I'm coming up against with my LTSP 
setup.  The teacher ordered windows-based software for her classroom 
computer, and I was wondering how to incorporate that.  We've got a lab 
of computers, but want 2 computers in the class-room that both tie to 
the lab, and to the software she has.
