[CoLoCo] Java on Chrome OS

[Andrew Barney]

I'm not sure about java on chrome, but i do know that the smart boards do
have a linux client available. In H.S. me and my friends would play kolf at
lunch time using the smart board on ubuntu. But i guess your referring to
the dependency on IE. Maybe you could try installing ies4linux? It probably
wouldn't be a great solution though.**

As a side question, Isn't ChromeOS just a highly customised version of
ubuntu netbook edition? I remember trying out one of the first alphas of
ChromeOS, and that's the impression i had. Although it was in very early
testing stage at that point, so i have no idea how much it's progressed
since then.

Our kids school district (Littleton) suffers from a number of problems
