[Web4lib] Thin client computer lab

[Thomas Edelblute]

We looked at Userful once.  It is a Linux and Open Office solution that I could not sell management on because Open Office is not the same as Microsoft Office.

Subject: [Web4lib] Thin client computer lab

A donor in town is interested in funding a small computer lab for our
small public library.

Funds will be limited, both initially & down the road, so I'm
considering going the thin client route.

Thoughts on thin clients as a solution?

Rough cost estimate to set up an 8-10 client lab?

Experiences with Pano Logic, MiniFrame, NComputing, Userful, or other vendors?

The clients would be used mainly for classes (internet skills, MS office, etc.).

Grateful for any advice!

Best,

Cab Vinton, Director
Sanbornton Public Library
Sanbornton, NH
