Feasibility of Linux for Public-Access Labs?

Benanov asks: "I'm doing a literature review on the Feasibility of Linux for a public-access lab (i.e. not Computer Science students at a university but instead the entire student body would have a login), and I haven't found any detailed studies about any places where this is actually done. If you know of any citeable sources about studies / reviews, I'd really appreciate it."

  1. UTD Does It. by saveth · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The University of Texas at Dallas does it. There is a lab full of Red Hat Linux computers and Sun Ray terminals.

    Though their web site is a bit sparse on details, you could probably shoot an email to a member of the staff. They're friendly people, and I'm sure they'd be willing to help you out.
