The Creative Librarian is a hub for matters important to librarians/information scientists of today. There is a definite lean towards electronic issues, however it isn't restricted to only those. Hopefully this site will also be useful for informing non-librarians on these issues as so many of them affect us all.

Desktop Linux

There are a couple of articles about a version of Linux created by a library for their public PCs that apparently is pretty close to Windows.

There is also a Desktop Linux being put out by Red Hat at the end of the month. The pricing looks a little high.

The Red Hat Network proxy starter pack is priced at $2,500 for 10 Red Hat Desktop subscriptions and management modules, one proxy server, 30 days of phone support, and a year of Web support. Buyers also will be able to get an extension pack for $3,500. This lets them scale up to 50 desktop subscriptions and management modules, as well as 30 days of phone support and a year of Web support. The satellite starter pack is priced at $13,500 for 50 Desktop Linux subscriptions and management modules, and the same level of support as in the proxy package.

But I don’t know how much Windows costs.
