Woops..

Slight mistake - the it-help list is called tech-help, which means to subscribe email tech-help-request@lists.centralmanclc.com. I wouldn't mind the mistake,but it's my list (server). How embarrassing...

You should also find it useful to join these mailing lists: suse-linux-uk-schools - this is very Linux focused, although not purely SuSE Linux, and has a number of people on it that are experts in thin client technology (terminal server equivalence). To subscribe, send a blank email to suse-linux-uk-schools-subscribe@suse.com it-help - this is a new list for peer support for IT people in schools and related organisations in the UK. It does not have a specific Linux focus, but may be useful for more general ICT issues for yourself and any technical staff in your school.

We have subscribers from all around the world, which of course includes the UK. I fully expect that you'll receive many suggestions on how to proceed. In the meantime, here are the websites of some Linux user groups (LUGs) in London: http://www.eastlondon.lug.org.uk/ http://www.lonix.org.uk/tnet-cgi/Lonix http://gllug.linux.co.uk/ http://www.sl.lug.org.uk/ LUGs are often great resources for getting assistance with installing and maintaining open source/free software.

Hi Schoolforge I am the Head of an ICT Department in a Catholic School in London (St Mark's Catholic School). I would like to use more open source software. I would like to take windows off all the client machines the students use (over 200 PCs) and run OpenOffice, but can you advive how I could incorporate some windows applications into the solution? Are the ways of making the machine easily dual boot? We were thinking about terminal server technology

Is there a GNU/Linux educational consultancy we could talk to?

My name is Suneil Basu
