Thanks, All, for the ideas, insight, and initiative. Allow me to put some focus on our objectives so we can adequately harness all this expertise. HOSEF has donated an entire lab to McKinley. It is a tri-boot lab. Win98 lite is run during the day to serve foreign language classes their preferred app, Rosetta Stone. (want to be a winner for HOSEF, help us get this running with wine or crossover), GRUB is used to boot from the Terminal Server, and now that Kevin and others will be offering classses in the room, we have added an install of Debian Sarge to the mix.

We need to image the machines as needed to preserve their ability to serve the foreign students their windows goodies. If we do a Linux install on the machines, we need to return the lab to its initial state.

Bill Musson has been kind enough to donate a copy of the venerable tool, Ghost.

We would love to see an OSS solution that we can share. Michael has been working with Mondo/mindi. We have a 10/100 switch, an nfs server, and a platform for your expertise. We will be gathering at McKinley on Saturday from 10-2, prior to the UH event, and you are invited to come by and help.

Pending a successful OSS solution we will be swapping out a few machines to make the lab uniform, (Dell Gx1) and multicast ghosting a known good image.
