RM stands for Reaseach machines, they suppy/supplied schools with the community connect software, latest being RM CC3 so far as i'm aware.

How is this working out for people? I have been asked to have laptops ready at the start of assemblies for staff to do sims registers on but it seems a little awkward for making sure they are all charged etc as i would have to 'collect' them from another department before each assembly and return them after (Thinking having 6 laptops logged in ready for staff to log on to sims, balancing a laptop and trying to use it, potential wireless dropout vs using 6 ipod touches). Having X number of ipod touches at the front of the hall ready for a staff member to pick one up to do their register seems a better plan as they could be used on trips etc (kept in our office on charge when not in use).

Thats probably why it's soo adictive (never realised the reson till now), it's an escape back to innocence where you can spend hours building something (house, car, etc), really like the way it's turned out then your brother (sister, parent, pet, any other moving thing (Creeper)) comes along and destroys it. Then you just pick up the blocks and randomly started building something else till you were told it's time for bed (and you would be sure it was only a few hours since you got up and started building aforementioned object). Or maybe i'm wrong

I was wondering how many network admins/tecs use linux on their main admin box rather than windows? What version / flavour is used? I'm looking to re-install my W7 machine with ubuntu as the main os and was wondering what problems I may face when trying to access active directory and user files that are based on an entirely server 2008 based system. I am probably going to have to have at least an XP virtual machine so as to run some of the software if it won't work under wine. some of the software I use: VMware vSpere Client Res Powerfuse (automation and management consoles) VNC Viewer RoyalTS (to the main servers) Terminal Services I would like to do it mainly as i like the way linux operates (all my home systems are linux except for my gaming rig) and to reduce the chances of infection so that at least one admin machine is 'clean' in case of a virus outbreak.

Played EVE Online on some ubuntu based machines, takes forever to configure to work, otherwise all you get is the UI and no display in the centre, just black space.
