I've been lurking for about a week, and I need a little help.
I've installed a small LTSP setup at my kids' school. (1 server, 2 terminals) The plan is to swap over their existing Win 98 machines bit by bit until they have 15-20 machines connected. So far, so good. The terminals are lightning-quick compared to those running Win98 locally, the IT teacher is onside and keen to get more converted over and the kids are using OpenOffice.org without any training at all. So much for the intro, now for the question ;-) The headmaster is hosting the principals of 20 other schools in February, and they've specifically asked to see his new Linux setup in action. He would like me to do a quick talk on the benefits, cost, any downsides and so on. This is a great opportunity to promote Linux and LTSP at a grass-roots level (they're all Primary schools), and I don't want to blow it. Does anyone have any pointers for me? I don't want to get overly technical, even though these principals run small schools and probably have to maintain their computers themselves. I feel that stability, cost, re-use of existing hardware are probably the biggies, but is there anything else I should mention?
