Linux Loco
Linux Loco was an Argentinian GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux. Its objective was to offer a simple installation, an up to date desktop, and a secure base. However, the most ambitious objective of Loco Linux was to create consciousness about Free Software in Argentina, and generate a framework for the development of Free Software in public and private environments. Linux Loco was based on Progeny Componentized Linux and shares some components with gnuLinEx.

K12Linux allows easy deployment of a Linux terminal server, capable of serving entire networks of netboot diskless clients. Clients login to the central terminal server, where they can use any Linux desktop environment and most desktop applications. Significant long-term cost savings are made possible by central management of software and accounts.

Review: The K12 Linux Terminal Server Project |
|
Mad Penguin has been busy installing and configuring K12LTSP 3.1.1, a Linux server distribution for diskless terminals: "Overall, the system is well laid out and documention is good... both from the developers of K12LTSP as well as Red Hat. All joking aside, I would highly recommend this software to anyone looking for an inexpensive, easy to administer, Linux terminal server. The developers have done an excellent job of keeping the technical side of the system hidden from view, but is still accessible to the more seasoned pro. I give it a two thumbs up. Well worth looking into." The full review with several screenshots.
