Linux Terminal Server Advantages of LTS...virus-free. Meanwhile there are more than about 60'000 viruses known attacking Windows™ systems, there are just about 20 (twenty!) in GNU/Linux. As viruses are created for attacking specific operating systems, using GNU/Linux is like a vaccination: No virus designed for Windows™ can do anything in a GNU/Linux environment.

Linux Terminal Server savings Cost comparison for 25 stations between a conventional windows® and GNU/Linux-based LTS network. nb: LTS does not have any software costs!
12
Linux Terminal Server carbon savings Nearly 25 million computers are obsolete each year in US alone. Extending the lifespan of a computer is an active contribution to the environment!
13
Linux Terminal Server Targets Main targets for LTS are: Internet Cafes Educational Facilities Office environments
14
Linux Terminal Server Internet cafes A typical use for LTS is the Internet cafes. The disk-less clients are especially suited as they do not contain a hard drive that easily breaks down. The clients are more robust to rough treatment and do not need software maintenance.
15
Linux Terminal Server Educational facilities Computer teaching environments with 10 to 30 stations are excellent targets for LTS. All office applications and email/Internet is working perfectly. Thai language is available.
16
Linux Terminal Server Offices LTS is a brilliant way to set up a low-cost office. OpenOffice supplies text, spreadsheet and presentation, GIMP professional photo editing. DTP and more is available. Cross-compatibility to commercial office applications is guaranteed. In addition, GNU/Linux is virus-free!
