Hello...
My name is Tim and I'm an 8th grade teacher in Southern California trying to
get a set of 6 to 7 computers set up in my classroom with Edubuntu.

I'm very excited about getting my mini-computer lab set up in my classroom.
 It's my 3rd year teaching, and am bringing in old hardware I've collected
over the years for my students.

I'm curious, do people think the thin client set up is best, or is there a
way for students to log-on to a stand-alone workstation but instead of
logging in locally they log-in to the server and save all their files to the
server as well?  I know Skolelinux can do this, but I've had many problems
with installing that, so now I'm pretty set on Edubuntu -- just now sure how
fast the thin client connection will be as I can't seem a way in the
documentation to let students log-on remotely to the server at a workstation
-- seems like you can only do this if you get rid of the hard drive and use
it as a thin-client.

Thanks to everyone.... I appreciate that this open source platform exists.
 I've always been a windows computer tech guy and so far am impressed with
what I'm seeing with Linux.

Tim
