green pc

We all need to support teh use of Open Source thin-client solutions in an educational context. Its worth stating, again, what is really the blindingly obvious - thin-client work stations use one twentieth of the power of a typical PC (10-20 watts versus 200-400 watts), require no maintenance or technical per-machine support.

Data centres use more power per square foot than any other part of the IT estate but, as a percentage of total power consumption, office equipment is the place where the most gains can be made. This is how ot do it.

There is a "green" operating system for your computer. Its a linux version called gOS. The tagline for gOS is “An alternative OS for the masses“.
