hello all Im looking at doing some work for schools, trying to save a lot of them from following their LEA's advice and throwing hundreds of acorn archimedes in the bin. no kidding.
ive had a look at armLinux, theres also three versions of BSD that run on the Acorn variants. Does anyone know of a x-window client that can be used on A3000/5000/7000 as a terminal client. ive only come across one, from Gnome software, which is a bit steep at 200 quid. Fair enough, he knows hes onto a winner, but any other suggestions would be much appreciated! i figure that with the *amount* of acorns in schools, that developing a stable way of making them useful terminals will be the easiest route by FAR to getting Linux into schools. Why try to convince them to go linux over windows on a pC when you can tackle them on the ground that windows could never hope to fight on>>? also, theres the whole problem with network connections. Some of the variants seem to come with ethernet built in (or at least a podule included as standard), whereas others have this econet tokenring thing goin on. are there any outlets for expansion cards that exist these days, and are they likely to be of any use to schools with no budgets? (ie cheep cheep). many thanks mike _______________________________________________ http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/armlinux/mailinglists.php Please visit the above addresses for information on this list.
