<p dir="ltr">I like the Knoppix approach. You run Live CD and create a TFTP server. Every single PC connected to this server getting the same Live CD experience. So you have centralized control over software but utilizing the local hardware.</p>

New charter school. No money. Budget of <$5k for phone/internet.<br>
<br>
Comcast cable 150 down/20 up. 282 students sharing 70 Chromebooks. Approximately 70 workstations as a) stand alone Linux systems. b) thin clients. c) fat clients. Or a combination of these. Some are lab system, some are teacher work stations.<br>
<br>
A number of switches scattered about. 12-14 classrooms. APs in every classroom. Probably VOIP phones in classrooms. One POTS line connected to an analog to SIP adaptor<br>
<br>
Upgrading to 250 down/20 up later this year possibly.<br>
<br>
What do you think? I plan to use a single flat network, probably class B. Students next year will have 1:1 chrome books.<br>
<br>
Did I mention there isn't any money? (Or very little)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim.<br>
