    NeTraverse writes "Addison UK is doing a Linux server roadshow demonstrating Linux at schools throughout the UK. This is a easy way for schools to see how Linux could be implimented in their school. Nice resource for those schools thinking about becoming enlightened.

  4. Windows Licensing and Win4Lin Terminal Servers?

    Ask · Linuxbusiness · · posted by Cliff · from the keeping-it-all-kosher dept. · 63 comments
    miguelk asks: "I'm helping a company (in Brazil) legalize their desktop operating system licenses by migrating to Linux on the desktop. WINE was tried but unfortunately did not work out for this particular case, so the idea is to install a Linux server with Win4Lin Terminal Server for 5 users, since the company has 5 Windows98 licenses to use for this purpose. All of the other 50+ desktops would be running Linux and would access these 5 licenses as needed, whenever they use a legacy Windows application. I have a question about the legal aspect of using the Windows desktop remotely. From all I have researched so far, this is legal since the actual Windows code will be installed on only one computer and will not be loaded in RAM on any other computer. I see it as equivalent to having 5 PCs on a desk and users walking up and using whatever PC happens to be available. I suspect that a direct, unprepared question to Microsoft is not a good idea, so I want to prepare first. Can anybody comment on this solution or share their experiences?"

  5. Linux at Spring Comdex

    Comdex · · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the interesting-reports dept. · 74 comments
    SEWilco has comprehensive report from the Spring Comdex show in Chicago. Good listing - show was smaller, but I think there was still some good exhibits put on there. Click thru to read more- you can also read the final report that Newsforge has.

    "At Spring Comdex in Chicago, Linux was scattered around the exhibit floor in addition to the cluster under the Linux pennant. There were quite a few embedded and handheld Linux items in addition to the expected Linux software booths.

    • Identifiable small Linux things:
    • The Agenda PDA had high visibility.
    • In the Korean booths, HNT was showing several tiny Linux machines in their Exilien line, using Linuette from MIZI. I won't call these multimedia devices a PDA.
    • Hacker & Packers had Linux inside their web pad design.
    • Up front, Century Software was showing their embeddable Linux on some Compaq iPaq handhelds, although their WebMedia (not yet on their web page) is aimed at larger appliance-sized devices.
    • Milletech was showing a WinCE or Linux webpad prototype.
    • Tuxia was tucked in the NEC area with their settop/webpad/thin client software.
    • Lineo featured tiny boxes, although their line ranges up to high-capacity clusters.

    • The assorted Linux items that caught my eye:
    • Appgen was showing their personal-to-Fortune range of accounting applications.
    • ACCPAC has some of their accounting modules on RedHat.
    • FreeDesk.com was showing their collection of web/Java based services and applications.
    • Equinox was showing the Linux label due to Linux support for their multiport serial/modem line.
    • Linux support in the distributed machine control system *this, which is generalizing proprietary industrial control equipment.
    • Starnet X-Win32 helps an unstable desktop access your stable server windows.
    • neTRAVERSE was running MS-Windows 95/98 apps within Linux.
    • A GeekCruises.com brochure for a Fall Linux Lunacy cruise was floating about.

    In addition to Linux Magazine, Linux Journal, and Embedded Linux Journal, Pen Computing magazine chose to feature the Agenda on their cover.

    The overall Comdex exhibit area seemed smaller than two years ago, with Waste Expo taking the south hall this year. But maybe the way the space between the three buildings was arranged was deceptive."
