[NTLUG:Discuss] Using Linux Terminal Server and thin clients in small public libraries

[Jerry McCulley]

There are some small public libraries in Texas that are interested in a
diskless thin client Linux terminal server solution for their public
kiosk type stations. 

I would like to help these libraries find support for setting up a Linux
based diskless thin client network and support for maintaining it.

Although this type of network can be easily setup by individuals who
know what they're doing, the librarians that want this network setup are
NOT technologically savvy, are new to Linux and would prefer to have
someone to maintain their Linux network for them rather than do it
themselves.  I currently in discussion with about 28 libraries that are
interested and more will surface once they see the success of the
others.

Is there anyone on this list that can provide setup and maintenance
services for small libraries?

If so, please contact me via email and provide your phone number.

Thanks.
