- Realistically deploying Edubuntu
- Realistically deploying EdubuntuVideo on thin-clients is never a good thingI used Windows Terminal Services in a library and the biggest complaint was always poor video performance on the workstations (i.e. web-based video streaming). Unless the video can be rendered on the client, performance is always going to suffer. I'm a...

Although I'm a big Ubuntu fan myself, I think that healthy competition is always preferable.The more Linux distro's strive for perfection, also in education, the better. Even if it's a slightly suspect distro like openSUSE (patent deal...
