Dear Antony,
Robinson's idea is good but someone has to do the work. We
have demonstrated that using GNU/Linux you can have a much better system
for
schools and also save on Hardware costs.
At NSC, We have done further work on it and now anyone who know how to
install linux can make Terminal Server also.
Just put the CD and run a shell script.
What we need is people to go to schools and colleges to demonstrate it.
If there is anyone willing to do that we can do the necessary support.
