I guess what I'm really advocating isn't this particular solution, but some *simple* solution that an enthusiast needn't be an expert to implement, a solution that allows for the simple set up of a thin client server with local-apps. I've got to say that you developers are doing a great job, Jaunty is a big step up from Hardy from my nubie-perspective. Also true is that I easily spent 80-100 hours this summer, along with another 30+ hours of other, knowledgeable Linux (though not to LTSP) users locally to get the server working like I need it to work. Add to this the various people who have helped give solve/add depth of understanding through this list server and through the wiki. AND, especially alkisg who spent hours on #edubuntu as well helping me solve problems I encountered/created in the setup process and sbalneav who got Sabayon working. So, a semi-simple solution (from a novices point of course) of setting up a robust server would be a great goal. > > Hopefully it is simple.
