I'm working with some schools in the UK who are moving to Linux (thin client for students, fat client for the teachers) and this will be welcome news. Is it possible to get on the beta program? Would SMART Tech have any objection to this information being made public? Thanks again. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Kery N.

If you do not currently have the resources necessary to complete the port, I can arrange for this work to take place for you. My thanks in advance for your assistance.
