I managed to sort out my first linux terminal server and client setup last night. Very pleased.
I am just starting on that adventure - which distro did you use and were there any major gotchas?
Can anyone point me to some instructions for locking down a desktop (as I'm used to doing in Windoze with policies etc). I want to sort out just a few icons and options on the menu as default, so when I create users they all get the same desktop, that they cannot change.
It depends which window manager/desktop you use. In principle if you make the menu configuration files root-writeable only, then they can't change anything. There is normally a skeleton directory which is copied when creating each user. Try /etc/skel.
RTFM? I want to. Anyone know where it is? ;)
