[NTLUG:Discuss] LTSP - Tablet PCs -vs- AIRPAD -- Mobile computing (non html version)

[Tom Adelstein]

Don't hold me to to anything I may write, but you may want to check out 
http://k12ltsp.org/. The project members have cleaned up and made LTSP 
easier. Intended for the K12 world, it's catching on in other 
environments since you don't need a mechanic to run it.

The we have http://diet-pc.sourceforge.net/ which can work with LTSP.

The options start to become endless. So rather than writng them all 
here, check out the faq's on the K12LTSP web page.

enjoy ;-)
