[ale] Microsoft Windows ousted at California school district

[James P. Kinney III]

The transition is a good thing but the software costs they paid for are
a shame. They paid a license fee for each thin client that connected to
the terminal server (based on what suse says on their SLED 10 pricing
page http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/howtobuy.html  at the very
bottom).

Then they purchased a Citrix-alike tool to provide access to Micro$oft
stuff hosted on M$ Terminal server when tsclient is a standard shipping
package in SLED (and Fedora and ...).

And they they bought Wyse terminals...

Ok. So the wyse Linux terminal is probably a lot better than the HP
T5125's but...
