Re: donated computers lab setup

Good Will Industries used to slap FC3 on theirs, in Roanoke VA. Great
people to do so. They'd sell an entire outfit for $100. I doubt FC5 or
FC6 would install though. Happy New Year to you, too. Ric

I've taken to calling our local GoodWill "IllWill" instead, as they
just chuck 90% of the donated hardware into the trash, and threaten to
call the cops when I dig it out.  The *big* stinker is that they cut
whatever cords they can get their little paws on, so I end up leaving
most of the monitors...

I've written to corporate a couple of times and never gotten a reply.

Back to the OP - I also recommend LTSP.  I have a pile of "garbage"
P1s and P2's that work just fine as terminals.  Once you have the
server set up, adding another terminal is as easy as determining the
NIC's chipset and spitting out a boot floppy a la rom-o-matic.net.

One major caveat: sound.  In theory, it works.  In practice, there's
too much lag.
