NComputing Virtualizes Ubuntu
sys-con.com – Nov 23, 2007
It can link 30 users to a single PC for as little as $70 a head on the theory that the average PC’s processing power is only 5% utilized. It was the stuff that Macedonia used to deploy 180,000 student seats (with OpenOffice), believed to be the largest global education Linux rollout although it says that school districts in California, Ohio, Indiana and New York have made major Linux commitments. NComputing has only been shipping product for two years and claims to have deployed 500,000 systems in the last 18 months.
LXer Weekly Roundup for 25-Nov-2007

The only thing that would have prevented them from using Linux before is that they use a windows only genealogy program called Personal Ancestral File. 10 worked so well for my printer, scanner, and pretty much everything else, I decided to try and install PAF using Wine.
