Re: [OS:N:] Re: Gimp V Photoshop

Wow. This thread had been been pretty sleepy lately but my original post seems 
to have woken everybody up. I've been away from my email for a day. Thanks 
for all the comments. There are quite a few good suggestions for trying to 
sell this. There must be something about a case like this that catches 
peoples imagination. I talked to a few people at work about this and a couple 
of people with Linux system administrator experience immediately volunteered 
to help.  I'm inspired to pursue this.

I've been looking at the k12ltsp site and clearly part of the solution is to 
address the ancient hardware problem. Image manipulation puts quite a burden 
on a memory and  resources. I have some old hardware lying around that I'm 
going to experiment with. For a few hundred dollars worth of memory, which I 
will donate, I think I can make a server. The comments I have received 
convince me that GIMP will do the job. If it can have a snappy response, I 
think that should put it over the top.

I feel much less daunted by the technical issues than how to approach it with 
the teacher and ultimately the educational bureaucracy.
