Here in Finland school's out for summer, so I downloaded, burned and 
booted openSUSE-Edu-Live-Li-f-e; then I hooked up HP Mini 2133 as a thin 
client.

Last summer we worked out with Jigish Asus Eee 701. Here is a picture 
about openSUSE running in Ubuntu KVM.

Very very well done Jigish et all other openSUSE developers!

I really really love to see all of these things in upstream so every 
LTSP5 distro can use them.

I have one setup with two servers 
(https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDHCPload-balancingFailover) - I hope 
that I can after Ubuntu 9.10 use three or four servers as easy as now 
two servers.
