[OPLINTECH] New release for openSUSE Education

[Joe Knueven]

In addition to Papercut or a plain CUPS implementation for print 
management, there is an open source product called LibKi, that does time 
limit management.. 

http://libki.org/

 From what I've seen playing around with the product, it's not as 
polished as some of the commercial products that I've encountered, but 
it will handle both Linux and WinXP clients, using a Linux back-end.  
Also, they have a preconfigured VMWare image available to test with.
