The ability to manage desktop policies globally is something that Linux needs in general, not just specifically for LTSP.
I think that we, on this mailing list are just a bit closer to the action, in terms of managing large numbers of desktops. I've heard that the KDE guys are working towards managing the desktop, and i've had meetings with some of the Gnome developers regarding this issue. We are probably still a few years away from seeing really good desktop manageability. Many of us have opted to use Icewm as the window manager, and that gives us total control over the desktop that the user sees. The menus and taskbar are configured via flat text files, and it works quite well. Plus, Icewm is very light weight, so it doesn't put much of a burden on the server. I highly recommend it. Hope that helps, Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 3 Feb 2003, Neil Hiorns wrote: > I have been investigating using LTSP as a replacement for MS Terminal > Server and obviously it is preferable for a number of reasons, not just > the cost aspect.
