[K12OSN] Which .NET for Linux - Windows Apps in Linux

[Kemp, Levi]

That is wonderful news to hear. I haven't had an issue yet with it. We have it at one school and I was able to log in from my K12LTSP Lab. Instead of the print plug in it just opens up Adobe Reader to view/print, and I'm fine with that. I'm just estactic I don't have to use windows terminal server for Reading Counts now. The only issue that may come up is with Lexiles, but I have no knowledge of library functions so I'm letting them sort it out ;-)

We've been using RenPlace under K12LTSP for two years. Frequently,
people confuse the server requirements with the client requirements.

We have no trouble using Firefox, Flash and Adobe Reader Linux versions-
we've gone from ver. 4.4 through 6 for the clients..

The print plug in doesn't work, of course, but that's really a non
issue.

OTOH, the server side is more problematic.
