Have you looked at the Linux Terminal server Project? http://www.ltsp.org/ It's an active, fast-moving project. They provide debs, lots of documentation, mail lists, and IRC. Running terminals off a good Linux server is a great way to go, maintaining a network is lots simpler. And quieter, if you have a place to stuff the noisy server. ;-) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carla Schroder www.tuxcomputing.com this message brought to you by Libranet 2.7 and Kmail ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
