Greetings everyone --

I have searched for documentation regarding these issues, but have, thus 
far, been unable to find anything related to what I need to know.  If 
anyone could help or point me in the right direction, it would be much 
appreciated.

I am in the process of setting up a small LTSP network, consisting of 
10-12 clients.  The server is running RedHat 8.0.  The clients are 
Jammin-125's.  The LTSP packages are the latest available.

1) Is it possible to connect USB drives (i.e., floppy and Zip)?  I saw 
Paul Whittaker's solution for USB Zip drives, but I was wondering if there 
were other methods that made for a more seemless integration at the 
workstation.  I haven't seen any solutions for USB floppy.

2) I'm having a strange issue with OpenOffice.org -- I can log into one
terminal and load up and use OpenOffice.org with no problem.  I can log
into a separate workstation with a different account and OpenOffice.org
works fine.  However, when I am logged into two different workstations at
the same time with the same account, OpenOffice.org doesn't work correctly
anymore -- I can launch the program successfully on the first workstation,
but if it is still running on the first workstation and I try to launch it
on the second workstation, the new windows will appear on the first.  As
far as I know, this does not happen with other applications.  Is this a 
configuration issue?  I've seen posts saying that it was necessary to run 
OpenOffice.org setup for each "client," but that doesn't make sense to me 
-- I'm sure they meant "user" instead of "client."  Or am I way off on 
this?  Has anyone else seen this or is this a question for the 
OpenOffice.org community?

3) I'm slightly confused about the need for /etc/hosts.  I confess, I 
haven't set it up at all and LTSP using NFS and gdm *appear* to be working 
just fine, however I don't want things to go awry down the road (could 
this even be related to issue #2 above?).  Am I missing something?  Or 
should I just leave well enough alone?

Besides the above issues, everything else is working great so far.  
Compliments to Jim for a great software package and a great thinclient, 
too!
