So, if I understand you correctly, I can set up, possibly not through
kdm, but definately through xdm, a login where users can choose to login
to the local machine, or the remote machine, to run their desktops.
That IS quite cool. My 9-year old likes the games in Mandrake, but all
my production stuff (and the wife's) is on the Caldera box. If I could
set it up so each user could just log into whichever server they want
from whichever PC they happen to be on, that'd be spectacular. I could
probably convince my older son (13) to abandon his penchant for Windows.
Makes me wish I weren't at work so I could play with this -- 'course,
the wife would probly have me painting something ;-(.
Regards,
Tim
