February, 2001. Linux Terminal Server Project by Paul Nelson and Eric Harrison.
Paul Nelson and I have been working on building a Linux "terminal server appliance" distribution. Essentially we are taking Red Hat 7.0, the Linux Terminal Server Project, and mashing the two together in a way that we think the average school tech could implement.

Riverdale School District has been testing Linux-based terminals for a couple of months now. I believe they currently have 20 in production use.

We could talk about:

• Riverdale's experiences
• discuss our design objectives
• show how the LTSP works
• describe the hacks required to RH7 & LTSP to get it all to work
• do a demo of a fresh install (my even do the install there)
• plug in a few random PXE/BOOTP enabled systems (bring your laptop!)
• discuss what is on our TODO list & our wish list
• let people play with the terminals
