hi John LTSP (http://www.ltsp.org) looks good, current starting to build system this evening (?). Have played with Etherboot and X workstation stuff and hoping that this will iron out the wrinkles... couple of points Redhat (6.2) centric.. although reported ok on Suse, Debain and SCO Open Server (???). I'll try a Mandrake build (sorry Roger). does things differently to Etherboot approach in that sets up remote Root filesystem in tmp files. Also can run some applications locally on the client as well as the server, although config not straight forward config wise it uses a configuration file (and syntax) which can control the different client configs centrally, rather than having different kernels and root fs...could be good (and easy to write a Webmin module for...) i'll you know how i get on, by Friday evening, given official work load :-) Malcolm ------------------------------- Dr Malcolm Herbert Head of Technology R&D, Becta 02476 847126 Mob: 07801 612438 -------------------------------
