| roy_ | I've spent some hours reading stories and reviews, most of them old. As evidence suggests, thin clients in education lost some momentum, including GNU/Linux-based ones. But it doesn't mean that they cannot be made to work. YouTube shows some deployments and how they are set up; if there is a lot of old hardware around, then it come be reused sensibly with so-called "cloud computing" (remote), not necessarily an applications server | Jan 28 01:13 |
