We have it as an option but to implement, we will have to buy 1 big iron system for the server. I normally install their version as a matter of course instead of the corresponding fedora or centos base versions. Even if you don't use the added ltsp/educational programs there are some advantages. Since they are released a bit later, they are remastered with current updates applied, some default settings are improved, and there are scripted installs for some things like acrobat, flash and webmin that save a little time. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
