MessageWe can give you machines usable as thin clients, but you would need to buy several things yourself.
1. Server - roughly $800 Minimal requirements - Single Athlon with 512MB ECC RAM in order to handle 5 LTSP stations. Make sure the motherboard has large upgradability with RAM so you can easily accomodate additional thin clients in the future. Let me know and I will price you out a recommended system. I would like to build and configure your server. 2. Bootable Network Cards Something like 3Com 3c905-txm or any other card with onboard PXE. Also Linksys LNE100TX with etherboot bootrom chip works. I heard there's similar cards from SMC and DLink that are also tftp bootable. We are getting a pack of 50 3c905-txm cards for St. John and Mid-Pac. I may be able to sell you a few of those cards. 3. Switches, cat5 cabling, etc. 4. I will require all schools receiving my help to subscribe to RHN services for their servers. This is $60/year ($5 per month). Trust me, $5 a month is worth your time. They e-mail you when new package updates are available. RHN service makes updating and installing new packages very quick and easy. Additionally please have your school fill out this form in order to receive the unlimited free academic license for StarOffice 6.0 for both Windows and Linux. http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/edu/promotions/scholar/starofficelic ense.html p.s. Please do not post HTML e-mail. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stockton, Wade To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 9:43 AM Subject: [luau] New school LTSP project Call for Help. Windward Nazarene Academy in Kaneohe is in need of a 4 or 5 station ltsp lab. Also as an inticement for teachers to get newer machines I would like to set up a couple of non terminal server workstations. I am the technology coordinator (volunteer) for this school so I will be the contact. The principal is all for it. I am not a novice Linux user but far from a proficient Linux sysadmin. Thanks in advance, Wade Stockton
