Thank you for the list. Here are some comments on a few of the items, to let you know what is being worked on for the next release.

When installing using the netinst CD, PXE is set up, and if the main-server is also a thin client server, all clients can boot LTSP. The diskless workstation setup is not enabled out of the box, though. Someone need to adjust the installer for that to happen. > 7. multimedia in clients > > i would be great if the multimediasupport in the linux clients will be > work out of the box. i mean flash in the browser, sound of the > thinclients i all applications (rosegarden, cdplayer and so on) because > we use moodle with flashmovies, movies localy saved on the server, so > the teacher can open them in the webbrowser and so on The browser multimedia support will improve with the Lenny based version, but as Adobe have a license on flash making it impossible for us to distribute it, it is harder to get it installed by default. We are supporting the gnash project to get a free flash implementation, but it is a slow process. Sound in thin clients should work out of the box in Lenny. Let us know if it does not. > 8. wine > > i want to use windows software with wine. but first try's show that it > only work when the users install this aplications in his home directory. > i dont know how skole can do something or how the developers of the > winsoftware should do that. we tried it with buddenberg and next we must > try it with lernwerkstatt. We had wine set up earlier, but was asked by a school to not do it, as pupils filled up their home directories with windows programs. Perhaps this should be changed?
