Excellent point. However I wonder how many staff will want multimedia, i.e., United Streaming snippets, to project to their classes. If too many do that on LTS, it will begin to tax the server. Yet long-term, particularly for labs doing simple word processing or web research, terminals can't be beat. Novell's Linux Desktop comes with the Citrix client built in. So if Open Office isn't enough, they can still get to the Presentation server for the real Office 2003. Food for thought, this terminal server stuff. If one can avoid paying a Microsoft Terminal Server CAL for every user by going Linux TS, there's huge long-term savings. -SS --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus on the server aea8.k12.ia.us] --------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us/ ---------------------------------------------------------
