Hello Jason
I work at a university, while also trying to finish up my PhD. My
research for this summer is to do a thin client using openSuSE. It has been a
real education just working with the GNU/Linux, SuSE, and the openSuSE
communities, not to mention open source software (OSS). I too am waiting for
the education software to debut with 10.3 cuz my dissertation for the fall is
doing a virtual school district using only OSS. That is going to be a blast!
For Programmers!
One thing that limits OSS is the use of tar.gz. Many are made in general
and you have to use configure and make. This is when you find out that you
also need to load other libraries, or your distro is not putting files where
the downloaded software can find them. I think we need to migrate to distro
RPM's. It would surely take the headache out of using this software.
