Linux in PDSB

[Paul King]

Some good news. 

I have been doing an LTO in Brampton, and I have found out that the Peel 
District School Board runs Novell servers, and their computers (at least at my 
school anyway) run Lilo boot loaders. You can see not just Lilo, but also the 
Linux kernel itself loading, although you still end up with the 95/98/XP 
operating system once the kernel connects to the Novell server on an end user 
machine.

The servers at our board is solid Linux. The "Wiring Closet" is at the back of 
the upstairs staff room, and in the server monitor you can see the familiar 
linux system messages (familiar both in the sense of the messages, and that 
unlike Windows servers, the display is a console display, not a graphical one).

A further selling point, which you can relate to the big shots at TDSB.
