Hi!

[David Groos]

Welcome Nancy

I've been using computers powered by Edubuntu for a couple of years in my
class and they are working great.  One thing that has been useful in my
class is using LTSP--in other words thin clients.  It has several huge
advantages but to me the biggest are ease of management (once you figure it
out) and second, that you can be running Ubuntu on older, recycled
equipment.  In 1 class they use PIII, in 2 others we use P4's and all work
great.

Have fun and don't hesitate to share your experiences, insights and
questions.
