Prospects…
• 500 + Servers by the year 2008 in Primary Education
• 15 000 + Clients (Thin Clients or Fat Clients) by the year 2008 in Primary Education

‘Apoplous’ Research
2001-2002: 1 Computer for every 4 students
2002-2003: 1 Computer per desk
Windows 98/Office XP
Linux/OpenOffice/StarOffice (2003)
![Page 5: Project Evagoras I & II 1 PC Per Classroom until year 2002 3 PCs Per Classroom until year 2008 30+ computers per school NO SUPPORT PERSONNEL](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93ac9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Problems Identified
Having a Lab inside a classroom requires heavy maintenance
A lot of failures can occur (hardware or otherwise)
Any disturbance in the teams leads to negative learning results!
![Page 6: Project Evagoras I & II 1 PC Per Classroom until year 2002 3 PCs Per Classroom until year 2008 30+ computers per school NO SUPPORT PERSONNEL](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93ac9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Proposed Solution
Move from Fat Clients to Thin Clients
Investigate Computer Recycling (June 2004)
Work with H.T.E. (Sun Microsystems Cyprus) for a possible solution
Evaluate K12LTSP (Fedora Core/LTSP)
![Page 7: Project Evagoras I & II 1 PC Per Classroom until year 2002 3 PCs Per Classroom until year 2008 30+ computers per school NO SUPPORT PERSONNEL](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93ac9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Year 1: 2004-2005
One school, 200+ students
One Classroom, 28 students
14 Clients (Pentium II/Celeron) with LAN cards that support PXE
K12LTSP Server
OpenOffice 2.0 / StarOffice 8.0 (Betas)

COLLABORATION

ConclusionsEven a modest server (Intel P4 @ 3GHz with 2GB RAM) can run up to 15 clients
OpenOffice/StarOffice serious MS Office replacements
Fedora Linux offers an extremely user friendly environment
WINE can compensate in the (few) cases where proprietary software is not available on Linux!

Answer:
NO!

Why Not?
Too restrictive!
Too many cables!
Still rely too heavily on the keyboard for input!
