Michael, Have you looked at the documentation on the Linux Terminal Server Project? I think there are some great guidelines (some on the mailing list, some offsite under "In the Press"). http://www.ltsp.org/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael MacDonald" <michael.macdonald6 at verizon.net> To: <discuss at blu.org> Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2003 10:12 PM Subject: Thin Clients > Hello, I figured I would post here.
