Hi, I've been following this list for a while, trying to get a feel for the type of list - it seems quite technical, so apologies if it is out of list policy. We're a small primary school who are just about to start work on a new ICT suite. The funding at the moment only covers building and furniture, not hardware or software. This is really a plea for information/experiences that schools have had with implementing Linux as an operating system - do schools use it solely as a server, or as workstations with server (thin-client)? What setup do schools have, and what software did they opt for? What is the range of software available for Linux for primary children (I've looked at Fensystems.co.uk and at the moment am a bit disappointed) - will it meet the curriculum requirements for KS1 and KS2? Is it easier to run a Linux server with Windows workstations? I apologise for the general questions, but we are in the early stages and trying to weigh up all options and are trying to gather information from schools who have gone down this road before us. Any info is gratefully received. Thanks for any replies. Adam Cripps __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
