  • (1888PressRelease) July 24, 2010 - Userful increases access to affordable computing in educational scenarios such as classrooms, and computer labs by enabling multiple people to connect to a single computer, each with their own monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Since Userful Linux MultiSeat 2010 is Linux-based, the operating system and application software is all free! Hundreds of free end-user and education-specific applications are included.

    Userful provides superior video performance to Microsoft Windows Multipoint Server 2010 when using USB multiseat devices. At just $59 per-seat (education pricing), and with no server licensing costs, Userful software is also the lowest cost shared resource computing solution on the market.

    "With Userful, schools can offer more computer access to more students on existing budgets, and/or have enough money left over to spend on other classroom technology," said Beverley Gallagher, VP Strategic Partnerships at Userful. "Plus the Userful multiseat computers are easy to set up and maintain, making them easily managed by nontechnical professionals right in the classroom."

    Userful Linux MultiSeat 2010 (preview) is available now as an Edubuntu 10.04 integrated install DVD. Userful Multiplier Evaluation V.3.8 supports all major Linux distributions including Ubuntu 10.04, SLED 11, and Debian 5.0.
