This should be fun. I was thinking about setting up centralized authentication, authorization and accounting on my home network, but I keep worrying about what would happen if my account gets compromised (password guessed). If I had time, I'd evaluate LDAP, Samba and Radius. Let us know how yours goes.

I'm getting the impression you're doing this more for educational reasons as not. > 13: All Linux machines will also run the latest Mosix Kernel What do you require Mosix for?

I rip my CDs to Ogg Vorbis, too. At high VBRs, it sounds the same on my Monsoon speakers. It certainly beats lossless compression schemes (I've only encountered FLAC) for storage and indexing. OTOH, I tried some 192kbps CBR MP3s burnt on a CD and played by a cheap DVD/VCD/CD/MP3 player on a relatively good hi-fi audio system and it sucked. -- *Richard Plana, B.Sc., CCNA* Secretary Calgary Linux Users' Group
