HOSEF will be hosting an open forum about thin clients and the
Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) at McKinley Community School.
Scott Belford will be teaching and moderating this hands-on class.

This class will concentrate on a particular LTSP setup called K12LTSP.

K12LTSP is based on RedHat Linux and the LTSP terminal server packages.
It's easy to install and configure. It's distributed under the GNU General
Public License. That means it's free and it's based on Open Source software.

Once installed, K12LTSP lets you boot diskless workstations from an
applications server. You can use old PC's as diskless clients or buy new
ones for under $200 each.

All applications run on the terminal server. Workstations are "thin." They
have no software or hard drives. Thin-clients are perfect for schools or
businesses because they are easy to install and require little maintenance.
They are reliable and immune to malicious tampering and viruses.

Seating is limited to 20. *Please register* by emailing me at
