Well I like the idea, but for a IT staff with as much technical
background as Truman's, it would probably be cheaper (and thus a
better ROI) to use a different distribution like perhaps Knoppix or
CollegeLinux tweaked for the campus. One thing that I am championing
currently in my company is the use of antiquated equipment with PXES
linux (pxes.sf.net) to boot them as thin clients to a central citrix
server. A 200Mhz machine with 64MB of RAM and no hard drive suddenly
becomes just as good for your average user as a machine 10 times the
size.

I know some of you probably consider Red Hat to be the Microsoft of

about Red Hat's recent announcement of Red Hat Desktop.

Will this have an impact? Do you think it could be a good solution for
our environment some day, or do you feel (because of costs involved) it
detracts from the idea of Open Source?
Just curious, (This should be a lively discussion. :-) )
