Hi Les, Some of us are already way ahead .... ;-) I created a business on K12ltsp targeting the educational, non-profit, and community centres market. Yes we are also working with some small businesses but it's an uphill battle. The company is XTlabs Corp and we are based in Montreal, Canada and welcome any and all suggestions www.xtlabs.org Just a note, the the attractino of K12ltsp or just ltsp is not primarily the cost savings it's the applications that businesses NEED running on this platform! From the perspective of a small or mediium company the savings are worthless if they cannot communicate and exchange documents and information seamlessly. >From my point of view there is still a lot of work that needs to be done before this can truely go mainstream. Don't get the impression that I'm belittling the fantastic work that Eric has done, far from that it's just that in my many presentations to businesses although they were very impressed with the system and it's ROI it's still the compatibility and business applications that are crucial. norbert nb Just so there won't be ANY misunderstanding the K12LTSP initiative IS the greatest thing since sliced bread ! :-) markebrown cox net wrote: Here is an interesting link along that line. http://linux.lorma.edu/ They seem to be parallel to K12 in many ways. I have been tossing the idea around of using LTSP and vnc to make a Linux training center that people could come for training and then keep their account for a while to play on through vnc. I would like to hit up some of the local business organizations to get some descision makers such as CEOs etc. together and show them what can be done. Thinking that if they see what is possible and the long-term savings, they may be quite interested.From: Les Mikesell <les futuresource com> Date: 2004/01/30 Fri PM 03:52:31 EST To: k12osn redhat com Subject: Re: [K12OSN] perhaps a radical idea On Fri, 2004-01-30 at 13:40, jam mcquil com wrote: |
