Actually that made me think of another scenario - computer labs. Colleges,

their OS on a stick or disk. No need for expensive software or maintenance
costs.

Not many uses...right now. I guess I see it as more of "look what we can do
with Linux if we really try" type of thing. These experiments are
necessary, I think, to really show off the power of Linux. Awareness is
growing because of things like this and Ubuntu and other efforts.

Imagine the future where we have dummy terminal type computers that we

I've been messing around with my workstation to get it set up.
Originally it came with RedHat EL5 which lasted a couple of days
before I formatted over it. There were several little things about RH
that just didn't seem to work right.
It took me a little bit of trial and error to set up Ub
