RE: [K12OSN] Using iBooks as Thin Clients

[Jim Hays <haysja sages us>]

Since you are getting new iBooks (not old ones with OS9), this will be very
easy.  Boot the iBooks into OSX and then connect to a remote X session with X11.
 (Instructions at http://k12ltsp.org/osx_howto.html)

You will have the Mac and the K12LTSP workstation.  (OSX was a good move for Apple.)
