Thin server/clients

[Susan Morken <smorken@fisdk12.net>]

I am interested in hearing from those of you who have installed a "thin" =
network in your libraries.
I would like to know what type of equipment you are using, what operating =
system, with what brand of library automation (software or web-based), and =
whether the system has made a difference in workstation maintenance and =
security.  I currently have 30 pc workstations on a server running Novell, =
with Follett Circ plus.  I spend a lot of time and money on maintaining or =
up-grading pcs, and a thin solution now sounds like an answer to many of =
these problems.  If you would like to praise or point out the down-side to =
this type of system, I would appreciate hearing from you.  I am Susan =
