Is anyone affiliated with or heard of this organization? It sounds like
an absolutely great program, but it has an obvious problem: "Microsoft
Authorized Refurbisher." Linux is the best choice for any school
computer lab--I just hate to see our funding-starved schools wasting
money on MS licenses. MCFS offers a 32-seat PIII Computer Lab for
$8700. Imagine what percentage of that is MS licenses! Must be 20% at
least!
Anyways, I thought I would see if this topic has ever been brought up
before, either with this organization or as an independent project.
Setting up Linux labs for schools has been a big interest of
mine--especially setting up Linux Terminal Server labs on old
hardware--this alone could save schools thousands, or at the very least
allow them to open additional labs or provide a terminal in every class.
What do you think?
