Hi,
The IBM's use Ubuntu via the LTSP project. It is cheaper than putting
50+ Mac Mini's because the maintance would be high.
Also, we are planning to buy one lisence of Infovox's Spanish Voice
for use by all the students.
Thanks,
Alex,

I haven't seen a Citrix-like solution for the Mac but I've been out
of the enterprise space for some time. Are you sure it will be a
lower cost than just putting 50 Mac Minis without screens in place?
How do the thin clients work? You might be dependent on IBM for a
solution since it's their clients that need to share to the Mac
server.

Hi,
I am looking at setting up a computer lab for Visually Impaired
students. It is Voiceover/Linux Driven, and any assistance is
greatly appreciated. A list of hardware i below:
50+ IBM Thin Clients
1 network server (possibly virtual)
1 Mac Pro with eight cores and 16 GB RAM.
Now my question is that I need to setup virtual sessesions from
each TC to the Mac to use Voiceover. The problem is that the only
software that will do that is FreeNX which isn't available for the
Mac yet. Is there any solutions. FreeNX will include support for
Mac in version 4.0, but in the meantime I would appreciate any free
solutions.
Thanks,
Alex,
