I was setup here to run Fedora + gnome. The autologin, and auto-program
start mechanism I used is gnome specific. For TWM, I'm not sure. I guess
it depends on what login manager you are using and how things are setup.
Are you starting up X11 and using xdm? Then you probably want to dig
through the xdm configs. Wow it's been a long time since I fiddled with
configuration xdm ... probably well over 10 years. Otherwise perhaps
another option (untested) would be to not start a login manager
automaticallly and just startup X11 from an /etc/init.d/ script (maybe by
calling startx). For auto starting programs once X11 is running and a user
session is active ... that's within the domain of the window manager (TWM)
and I don't think I've ever used that in ernest. Long ago, I used fvwm
which was the bloat-ware fancy window manager of the day (now we have
gnome/kde which are nice but give a new definition to bloatware.) There are
probably easier ways to do this and harder ways to do this ... and I'd
probably lean toward adding something to /etc/init.d/ but maybe there's a
better mechanism already there if you googled and did some research?

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources

connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
