Interactive whiteboards with Ubuntu

[Veli-Matti Lintu]

Hello everyone,

There are probably quite a few people here who are interested in interactive whiteboards and their linux compatibility. Finding up-to-date information on the different models and how to get them working with Ubuntu has been quite a challenge, so we decided to spend some time and do research on the different models available on the market.

We'll get some interactive whiteboards for testing from the local vendors in Finland within the next weeks and we'll document the findings in our blog. Suggestions on what to test and dirty hacks are welcome as we probably cannot figure out every possible problem on our own. We'll test both local installations and LTSP fat client setups.

There's more information in our blog:

Happy hacking!
