If you really want to go multi-head, I think the real way to go right now is LTSP. Get any old computer, connect it via Cat5 to the LTSP server (which can even be just a P4 with 512MB), and boot it off of a gPXE CD. You'll have local USB access and local CD access (but not audio CD). You can do this with real junk! I have a couple of P3's and a P2 acting as LTSP thin clients and they work great. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
