Hi.
I'm keen on the idea of edubuntu - if we can save ourselves money by
avoiding the MS tax, that'll be welcome, as well as the better
software. A major pre-requisite for us would be support for
whiteboards - we are equipped throughout with Hitachi Cambridge
whiteboards. I'm probably too late for the first release, but I'm
about to have an ubuntu'd laptop, so I'd be willing to take part in
any test program.

We have SmartBoards, which I would now be very loathe to do without in
my classroom. There is binary only software available from SmartTech
(see http://www.smarttech.com/support/software/unix.asp) for SuSE,
RedHat and "Mandrake" at least. I've not tried this under Ubuntu, but I
might be able to give it a try over the summer if that would be helpful.
I doubt that such non open source code would belong in the edubuntu
distribution, but it would be good to know how to get the boards up and
running.
