[OPLINTECH] Equipment to replace PAC computers

[Bob Neeper]

We have sort of a combination of what Chad and Adam do.

There is still one Neoware box  (Thin Client) in children's that PXE boots to an 
openSUSE Education Server.
It has a bunch of games to run, as well as a locked down Firefox browser to our 
Evergreen PAC.
   It also did this when we used TLC, but then we had 5 thin clients.
   Can be shutdown or just powered off

We also have two old (2002 vintage) Acer's running openSUSE 10.x
They too, run a locked down Firefox to the Evergreen PAC (and TLC previously)
   Can be shutdown or just powered off. Auto boot in the morning

Also (12) Deepfreezed Windows 7 for patrons which have PAC access.
   These auto boot and auto shutdown (Thanks Chad)

These things just run.
