Awesome, I can't wait. I can't believe how nicely local devices and sound on my new system work. If you guys are half as successful in tackling local apps along with the speed/scalability it should be great. I have been fairly impressed with the speed on my system just the way it is, faster will be great, but at this point my clients boot in about 1 min 20 seconds which isn't all that bad compared to full workstations. And with the LDM_DIRECTX running my video is flawless at smaller resolutions, still a little choppy at larger or full screen, but it is a thin client so I expect this. Excellent work guys, you are making my job much easier :-) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cotter Technology Department, and is believed to be clean. -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
