Here's what you do: define "camera clusters". These would be N cameras mounted very close together and connected to a junker PC running Linux (what else?). Have one script on each junker dedicated to these N cameras and cycling through them so that the cluster provides 1 picture every X seconds to the server via TCP/IP. Done this way you can probably do it fairly cheaply (although it may be bulky).
BUT FIRST, I'd ask the director why "real time" is so important. If the people being watched don't know which second is the one where the pic is being snapped, a granularity of 15 seconds should be plenty. What's the director going to do, sit there and do nothing but watch the screen?
If there is a reasonable answer to this, there may be another solution. There are digital cameras that will capture motion AND stills at the same time. Mount one in every room, feed the motion to the director and the stills to the web. I can't remember the name of the product, but there's a page out there about some guys getting in trouble in Walmart with it.
I didn't find CTP in EB in the mall, so I asked the clerk. Turned out it was on a different shelf. So they had it after all.
Another customer overheard me asking for a Linux game and said "Wow! I didn't they were coming out with Linux games! This is great! I run RedHat at home." Then the clerk said "Yeah, me too! It's great!"

They (/.) article says "13% less (or about an hour)". You apparently interpreted this as "13% less" == "down to an hour now". I interpreted this to mean that "an hour" == "13%". So 100% would be 7.7 hours and the online homes, clocking in at 87% are watching 6.7. Makes more sense my way, I think. --- Put Hemos through English 101!

I tried for 2 DAYS to download via HTTP but it kept pooping out at 20-30 MB (this was a 100MB download). Finally I wised up and went over to my Linux box to use ncftp.
Of course, then I had to find it. Turns out the 95/98/NT client software is in the Netware directory...
That's the "Enterprise" edition. For the "just plain server" it's closer to $2000 for a 10 users/processor license.
Needless to say, none of this is obvious from the website.
As for Oracle on NT: It's more than pretty tools and performance hits. It's also bugs-aplenty. I just finished benchmarking Oracle on Linux and NT and I had to cancel the NT test because it couldn't even do some of the tests. Bulk loading was the killer--for some reason it could create but not populate the reject file (for large (?) data loads).
These tests were with the free downloadable versions, BTW, so YMMV. --- Put Hemos through English 101!
Our network admin (for the entire enterprise, not just a "site admin") is a certified ignoramus. She's in charge of NT and Novell (with a couple Unix, etc oddballs) machines and she knows diddly. Calls the programmers in to create batch files, has never heard of Perl, still creates NT users with the GUI (even though 99% of them are identical and could be scripted), etc ad nauseum. What's even funnier is that she's gone to week-long training classes on NT, Exchange, SQL Server, etc and yet still knows nothing.

I know that since BeOS is not open-source it would be harder to have applications made, but they would be easier to maintain; as BeOS has a standard set.

You are writing Program A that needs to generate Program B. b1...bn (some subset of B) is identical to a1...an (some subset of A).
This is no problem, assuming you are the creator of A. As creator you hold the copyright for any code you create. Here is what you do:
1) Create a file containing s1...sn (the subsets that need to be in both programs) 2) Fork the tree on those subsets, make one branch GPL and the other whatever you want. 3) Include the GPL fork in A and the non-GPL fork in B.

As I understand it here is your issue:
You are writing Program A that needs to generate Program B. b1...bn (some subset of B) is identical to a1...an (some subset of A).
This is no problem, assuming you are the creator of A. As creator you hold the copyright for any code you create. Here is what you do:
