Would a small terminal server setup be of any use. I have an LTSP on OpenSuSE rig that I can setup up to ten terminals (four would be more convenient in terms of transportability :) ) It has all the KDE educational packages on it. Takes about 40 minutes to get hooked up and running.
Awesome, yes! I think John Billings has experience with this too. Also it's an opportunity to discuss how Free software can reduce e-waste (that's Nandor's thing I gather) by greatly extending the useful life of older equipment.
You'll be along on the day then?
Yep, I've managed to free the whole day.... Will there be room to put up small workstations or do we have to use any tables in place? Given Nandor's presence I'll use the old Compaq PIIs as thin clients. Unfortunately I haven't had time to set KIWI up on this machine and so it's just running LTSP 4.2. But if anyone who's going to be there is familiar with the KIWI-LTSP 5 setup I'm happy to let them screw with it Obviously I'll be able to focus on OOo but I can also make sense in GIMP, Inkscape and equally obviously, OpenSuSE. I'll have a few 32 bit OS 11 and SLE 10 DVDs handy. Cheers GL
