Users management are pretty sorted through AD support.
Patching through auto update seemed ok.
But how do you install software to rooms of pcs with out login into each one?
How do you do things like group polices for access to applications?
Things like managing the start menu etc.
For mac there the xserver which does all this, and for windows you can get apps.
What is there for Linux?
Use KIWI-LTSP, you will have to manage just one server, applications installed on the server would show up on every client.
Isn't this depending on the need for applications that need audio and video? But indeed kiwi-ltsp is an excellent platform to do all the things requested above. How well does kiwi-ltsp perform with audio and video applications? Is it already possible to run such applications for example locally on the client?
