VNC is a good alternative. It's open-sourced, free, uses bandwidth efficiently, and is easy to set up. If you run the vnc server out of xinetd, the Windows desktops will show your LTSP login in a window. Once the users sign in, it looks like an X server. There are very few client-side options, so there's very little maintenance outside the server. There are a few downsides: 1. It doesn't run full-screen. 2. All of the X sessions have to run at the same resolution. You can get around this with multiple xinetd entries on different ports, but then you need to set up the clients to connect to the correct port. 3. You get none of the administrative advantages of LTSP (ie, you still have to keep Windows running on each desktop). -David ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
