Personally, I think having Linux in every classroom is a great idea, a good low-cost solution for educational facilities that need computing power but can't afford the very latest hardware. My former high school chose mid-range machines running Windows 98 and Novell 4.11. Thus, they were able to offer CNA classes for credit during the school day. I wish they had had Linux running in every lab so they would have been more tempted to provide *nix training towards certification. I certainly would have gotten into it sooner if they had. Instead, I spent my time learning. Novell 3(eventually 4.11).
It's not that they would really even have needed to change the servers at all, as there is plenty of IPX/Novell support in modern distros of Linux. I know that all the machines I hijacked and installed Linux on(muwahahaha!) during my high school years worked flawlessly, booting from the DHCP server, proxy setup, even mounting up Netware volumes.. and thanks to a bad ghost image, the shared Windows volumes of all the workstations in the district.. even the office and teacher machines. I got pretty decent grades, thank you very much : )
Well, the Jolt has to be bottled somewhere and you can't have sodie-pop without water.. On second thought, I think Valium was a bad choice. They need a big oral dose of lopressor, lower they're blood pressure so but they'll be on the floor..
The solution to the "script kiddies" problem is, of course, strong sedatives in the city resivoir. 10mg Valium/8oz water.. there will be no problems.. ever.. of any kind
I think by "BeBox" they mean any PPC running BeOS, not specifically the Be Inc. BeBox. What I wouldn't do for one of those babies though. Honestly, BeOS is beautiful but I feel it is, sadly, doomed. The BeOS community is nstrong but it isn't commercially viable. Good for developers and graphics arts/video people. Not practical for Joe Random Gamer or Mr. Word Processor.. too bad.
The question in my mind is as follows: why woulds you need a P-III on a shop floor? More than likely the machine itself is not used for data crunching. Even it it were, it's unlikely the extra multimedia packages on the P-II would be necessary. I would imagine that most computers on an industrial shop floor would be data entry. They would probably be NC's or less - a dumb terminal. I should think you'd be able to set up an sufficient machine for less than $100..
But if you had to cool a fully sealed P-III, how would you do it? I'm interested to know.
Actually, the Enterprise(NCC-1701, Constitution class starship)was first launched about 20 years before Kirk ever got to it.. how does this work out with the date of Series V? of TOS?
Hell if I know.. but I think I'm going to name my first child DeForest : )

Amen, brother man!
More likely Jabber will go the way of QDOS and PowerPoint.. it will be *ahem* acquired and merged into MSnN by Redmond..

Behold! The power of Linux!
