Hi Yes, Axess and Academia are excellent partners. Please feel free to contact them on the numbers listed. As far as licensing is concerned, no NComputing staff should, or would suggest that you should use a single copy of XP. Whilst our software would operate in such an environment, Server 2003 (and now in beta, 2008) are the optimum routes to follow and of course, you should always purchase the appropriate CALS and correct number of application licences too. As far as Ubuntu is concerned, we are, as you rightly point out, about to release an Ubuntu 8.04 beta for the X550 and we also have a Server 2K8 (Vista experience) beta for it too. We already have an Ubunt 7.04 release for the X300 and a SUSE 10.2 beta for the L230 and will obviously expand upon these distributions as quickly as possible. Please contact me if you wish to be part of the beta programme. Regards richard butler [email protected]

Hi Nick Glad to hear that you are trialling our systems. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any assistance. Regards Richard Butler Lead SE NComputing UK Ltd [email protected]

Hi Unfortunately it is not possible to connect an L series access device to the X550 card. These two architectures, whilst achieving much the same result, are entirely different in their connectivity. The X series uses a direct connection which requires the installation of hardware and our software in the host. Whilst it does use CAT5 (or CAT6) cabling, this cannot be routed through any ethernet infrastructure (it also carries power for the XD2 access devices). The L230 is a true LAN-based device and requires only our software to be installed in the host. Please don't hesitate to email or call me, I would be very happy to elaborate on the above and help you in any way I can.
