The meeting will be held Thursday, December 17th at 10am in the Heathcote 
classroom (Rm 15) in the basement of the library which is directly under 
the stairs in the center of the library.

Michael Hodges and Ben Hager, both with the Renne Library Systems Group,
will be talking about "Userful Multiplier".

"Userful Multiplier takes 1 ordinary PC and turns it into 10. Just install the Linux-based software, add monitors, keyboards and mice - and you can support up to 10 independent users at the same time on a single computer."

Multi Seat Computing
We will be discussing:
Pros and cons of implementing multiple desktops with one computer.
Windows Vs Linux for multi head computers and software/hardware options available.
Hardware/Software Issues.
Costs.
Power savings.

Having the meeting in the library will allow Ben and Michael to give a 
hands on demonstration.

Hope to see you there.

Lisa
