Linux desktops: you say no

,----[ Quote ]
| Freeform Dynamics's new survey "of 1,275 IT 
| professionals from the UK, USA, and other 
| geographies" has just been published. Two-
| thirds of respondents said that cutting costs 
| was a prime mover behind their decisions to 
| switch to Linux on the desktop but that user 
| acceptance was a key consideration in the 
| decision to do so.

Linux in schools can save the planet

| The fanless thin-clients use an embedded Linux and draw approximately 4 watts 
| when combined with 7â LCD panels and optional laser keyboards. They are 
| grouped in clusters of five inside a central cylinder and cooled by a natural 
| thermal updraft. The 12v power is supplied to all five from a single DC 
| source thus avoiding the huge power losses contingent on individual 
| transformers. A cluster of five computers uses 25 watts of power, not bad 
| when compared to a single standard 400watt desktop PC.
