Edubuntu, Linux Terminal Server and thin clients

| You walk into the room. It's cool and quiet. You see thirty new
| workstations giving great service. Your cost of hardware was CAD$350 for
| each workstation, CAD$10 to connect it to an existing 100Mbps LAN, and
| about CAD$60 for a share of a server in another room (CAD$1 = US$0.87).
| Your software costs were only some download and CD burn time and forty
| minutes for installation. Your operating costs are virtually nil. The
| server runs for months without a reboot. The workstations have nothing
| but network boot loaders. You back up only one machine, the server.
| The workstations use twenty watts each and have no fans. Magical? Yes.
| Magic? No.
