I know HP has a mobile cart solution like this and AFAIK it would work well with Edubuntu - er providing wireless LTSP access works. Does it? I have no idea? I get you could have a nest of ethernet cables coming out of the cart if necessary ;) I don't know much more about it, but could find out, if necessary. > This way every classroom can become a computer lab.

It's a good idea, the cart is also fairly secure itself, and can be wheeled into a strong room for storage when extra security is required. > Any comments on using Edubuntu in this type of setup?
