You mention that you're using remote sound with KDE and RH9. Any tips on setting this up? I got it working once, but I had to recompile arts with the nas libraries, and even then it was unreliable/unstable. How did you go about setting it up? I could use a few pointers. Also, does the sound work well with multimedia, like mpeg or flash movies? > When the client user logs out, the home directory is wiped and > re-created so all settings and files disappear. (Then the history and > cache go). Ah, any chance you could share the scripts for doing this? We've been using KDE and its kiosk framework at our site, and for the most part it's pretty tight. However, every now and then, something gets tweaked here and there. Rather than having to figure out what happened with a workstation's settings, I'd rather just copy in a master, 'pristine' setup. One last thing -- you mentioned that clients will bring in a CV. What do you use for removeable media? I've been wrestling with USB floppy drives for a while now and just can't get them to behave like most people would expect them. I've tried using enbd, the rmedia package, and the floppyd setup, but to no avail. floppyd works, but it just doesn't have the same feel as using a Windows machine (most of our clients are Linux-ignorant). I've never been able to get ENBD to work right (maybe a short how-to from someone would help). And the rmedia package feels more like a hack when trying to use it. Any thoughts on this would appreciated! -- Nathan Sweet System Administrator University of New Mexico Career Services Ph: 505.277.2599 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
