|>Hi, |> |>TechCoaches is looking for some volunteers to develop a Linux |>distribution for our growing home loaner program for students in the |>Chapel Hill/Carrboro district who do not currently have internet |>access. |>We are currently using 200+ thin clients to provide internet and |>citrixaccess to our students to the school system from home via |>dial-up. The |>thin clients are slightly customized for the school district (modem |>added), are more expensive than refurb PCs, require customization of |>each unit, support a limited subset of desired requirements, and have |>other limitations. We need to support another 800+ student |>loaners and |>want to use Linux instead of the WinCE-based thin clients. |> |>This is a perfect opportunity to leverage Linux. We want a |>bootable-from-CD version which would start fresh at each boot and |>wouldbe low maintenance. (ie - virus-free at each boot, free of |>configchange problems, etc). |> |>The first draft of our requirements are located at |>http://www2.chccs.k12.nc.us/education/components/whatsnew/default.php?sectiondetailid=8599&id=291&viewType=detail

It is a two floppy distribution that has X11, and it can run citrix/ICA (says the site somewhere, I've never actually used it.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux)
