[ale] OT - Entry Level Job Opening

[CharlesM at Media-Brokers.com (Charles Marcus)]

Actually, shops like this are perfect candidates for an LTSP network.  Uses
plain, vanilla PCs as clients, and centralized Server based management is a
snap.  The users are usually thrilled that they can get away form those ugly
old green terminals, *and* you can also provide them with X-applications
like OpenOffice, Mozilla, etc for writing letters, browsing the web and
doing email.
