Re: Clean Slate or Deepfreeze

We use both, mostly Clean Slate with Deep Freeze on some of the older
computers with small hard drives. I prefer Clean Slate, in general
there is less upkeep. However, if a student turns the computer off when
Clean Slate is writing changes to the hard drive, it can be a real pain
to get working again. You have to delete the cache, and reset the hard
drive protection. You can avoid the problem by being sure to restart the
computer yourself, before the students show up. (It will do Windows
updates and Antivirus updates without any input from you - the problem
comes from the updates that require a restart.)

Do any of you have any experience with either of these products. Would
appreciate pros/cons for either.
