Hi,
But what i don't want is a desktop-discussion like at the openSUSE project a few month ago. A second point. In my opinion installing a GUI should not be the standard on a Linux-Server installation. Most servers i work with didn't have monitor, mouse and keyboard or KVM-console connected. Running a GUI by default is a waste of resources. Agreed, no desktop discussion here.
Even that 'standalone desktop discussion' of course is beyond the scope here, related client-server configurations are of more interest and importance. Servers are not isolated but has the purpose to supply useful services for users on networked clients. Sometimes specific configurations and setup on the client side are required to obtain this. And as already mentioned, small companies most often don't have such IT-knowledge, either it is Windows or Linux clients. A couple of client/server configuration examples from my own experience: Single logon: that is login on the dekstop client should automatic give transparent access to the network server. Using Samba shared file access, the user will usual (default) be asked for another logon/password. (The Novell client for OES2 is more streamlined and has more features, but is never available for the latest openSUSE release). Starting OpenVPN on the client side in a terminal requires root password. The practical and user friendly use of OpenVPN, is when it is setup to be startet from Network Manager. Terje J.
