>Seems to have gone quiet down in Torbay, Tom? Ok Ok.... Just to let you know ... I took 1 weeks leave from TC last week and spent a couple of days with Howard Lunn @ Churston Grammer. We managed to set up a LTSP (using K12LTSP) server and a couple of clients, as a proof of concept. We also managed to get authentication through the exisiting NT PDC (thanks for the tips Simon) . We also set up a PXE based workstation. Usual problems with X configuration on the client but we got there. Now looking at locking down the Bluecurve (GNOME). Worked out how to fix the menus, however does anyone out there know how to remove the "Run Programs" option from the GNOME menu, preferably without having to hack the source ? I think Howard was impressed. He wants to set up a small suite in the library providing basic "office tools" and web browsing. Hes had a donation of some old machines, and its either a case of finding licences for MS, using Linux or dumping them. He has also ordered two "thin client" PC's (Using Via's mini-itx boards again with PXE built in) and a server. We are taking small tentative steps towards open source solutions, and its very early days but at least the ball is now rolling. Tom.
