[school-discuss] Further to rolling your own thin clients

[Daniel Howard <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it looks like we can buy certified LTSP thin clients that are only 
$70 USD more than the roll your own approach at diskless workstations:

http://www.disklessworkstations.com

although we thought getting the technically savvy parents involved in a 
NetDay type event to assemble and load them would be beneficial to getting 
the story out.  We'll still drag the parents in to help convert old PCs 
into thin clients...

Is there a hardware resource section of the schoolforge web site that I'm 
missing?  A review of new LTSP thin clients somewhere?  Should we add 
one?  In our case, we plan to use our elementary school's example and make 
a case to the city school system as a whole, which is going to be looking 
for new technology when a huge leased computer program expires in 
2007.  The IT maintenance/support school-wide has been a major issue for 
many years now.

Regards,
Daniel
