Another example is the compulsory KS3 "online" testing which requires a Windows client machine to run on. QCA are responsible for commissioning this software and it is propriatory software vendor RM who are implementing it. Schools running Linux thin clients have been told to "get Citrix" at the cost of thousands of pounds.
They have not told me - yet.
Interestingly the server software for the KS3 online testing is written on top of tomcat and postgresql, however we have been told that the Linux server has been scraped now
Are you sure about that Tim? I have just set up the Redhat version at my school that was provided by RM with reasonably good documentation. I set it up just before the holidays and left the technicians to get it going over the holidays so don't know how well it is doing.
I had a long chat with the RM team about three weeks ago. It was still up and running then, however it will only run on Redhat.
