Mac OS X Labs Deployment Initiative

Richard Glaser writes "Members of the Apple University Executive Forum are working on a project called the Higher Education Mac OS X Lab Deployment Initiative. The web site has our goals, what we've found so far, pointers to areas of ongoing exploration, and a forum where registered members can ask questions and share their findings. We have created a list of resources and tools (including RsyncX, an implementation of rsync with HFS+ support). Apple has recently placed several links to our site from the education area of their web site; we are pleased with this evidence of support of the work we have done so far."

"Perhaps Apple should extend NetInfo to other UNIX operating systems--maybe even open source it to gain a greater support and technical base" NetInfo was a part of NeXTstep/OPENstep (sorry if I got the capitalization wrong. I don't feel like looking it up). Wouldn't it already be open sourced as part of OPENstep?

netinfo is open source (part of darwin, not apple)
