Check out the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) at http://ltsp.org/ It works great with Mandrake. We are promoting it (and Linux) in Belize, and trying to get a Belize Linux User Group going. http://linux.bz/ We figure between hardware and software savings we can save a school about 2/3 the cost of going the Billy-way. > 3.

There's even a howto or two that apply, and an organization or two. -- Jan Wilson, SysAdmin _/*]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Corozal Junior College | |:' corozal.com corozal.bz Corozal Town, Belize | /' chetumal.com & linux.bz Reg.
