Apologies for the cross-posting.

If you use SMARTboards, this is excellent news... one less
objection/obstacle to overcome!

 Thanks for your response - can I just confirm that SMART Notebook will
be
available for Linux shortly? I'm working with some schools in the UK who
are
moving to Linux (thin client for students, fat client for the teachers)
and
this will be welcome news.

Is it possible to get on the beta program? Would SMART Tech have any
objection to this information being made public?

Thanks again.

Chris

Hi

I noted that you have Notebook available for Mac OSX - as this OS is
very
similar to Linux/UNIX, I assume the Linux version is just a matter of
time.
If you do not currently have the resources necessary to complete the
port, I
can arrange for this work to take place for you.

My thanks in advance for your assistance.
