Subject: Re: [school-discuss] We did it!

So far we use the standard K12LTSP application set (of which, gcompris 
is included)

We will document our project more now that we have official approval to 
proceed. We had kept a low profile while
awaiting our system's approval in how we could implement the project.

More:  http://www.morrisbrandon.com

see Brandon Technology under the the School Information links on the 
left-hand menu and also our Links page has links, of course, to the 
K12LTSP project and other sites of interest. Obviously, there are more 
sites to be linked now that we are official.

The only issue we've encountered so far is running the occasional 
Shockwave animation that some educational sites still use - there is no 
Linux plugin. Otherwise, our kids are more active than ever -

regards,
William
