Dear Karthik, Please scroll down and read the original post under the thread head "50 Solaris school computers".
The question is if there is a computer with Sun Solaris operating system, learning Star Office and java becomes easier. But the student also has to learn windows and Vbasic. How does he do that on a computer with Sun Solaris O/s ? Is Dual Boot with Windows as additional O/S the only way out ? Or can Zen help? These are to be standalones, low cost desktop computers, is Zen a good idea ? And with Zen can a student do his exercises on his Vbasic and Internet Explorer ? Thank you. Sivasubramanian.
