Hi all: I don't know if anyone else reads (has time to) SecEd (The Voice for Secondary Education) but there is a wonderful (sic) new product from Microsoft called "The Internet Accelerator for Schools". It doesn't say how much it costs but I suspect it will be a packet as with most of their "educational" software. Apparently it works by caching web sites locally-ooh, ahh I hear you say collectively. Is there something in the Open Source world that could match this wonderful innovation.... Paul

Time is relative. A long-lost relative in my case ;-)

How locally? Are we talking per-machine like mozilla's cache, or per-site like squid? As long as it's not one of those server-whacking "accelerators" that seemed to have brief burst of popularity until ISPs started to clamp down on heavy persistent users. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ jabber://slef@jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ Thought: "Changeset algebra is really difficult."
