[GRLUG] GRCC and Linux [was "Linux @ school."]

[Szymon Machajewski]

Thank you for the question.

We run Fedora on about 40 workstation at the ATC building (via VMware
Player), and we also have a few kiosks in the main building which either
already have Linux on them or soon will have.  These are Firefox browser
kiosks (live CD).

In the Data Center we have many RedHat systems in production and soon
will be adding a few SUSE.  The engineers have Linux for workstations in
addition to Windows or run Windows in VMware.

It is difficult to deploy Linux on the workstations but this fight is
just getting started ...

Speaking of which, Szymon, how many Linux computers are available for 
the students at GRCC to use?  Just curious.
