So I fit into your scenario - but I do agree that it is rare. BTW - The fact that I do not have to keep up to date with 4 separate machines and all their software is what makes this system ROCK. There are some minuses (like kids shockwave games), but the good REALLY out weighs the bad. Everyone in the house can use their own computer, and I don't have to waste a full Saturday hunting for, downloading, and installing updates/patches/etc. I can run some really OLD hardware, usually that I can get for cheap or nothing. And only recently thought about a need to upgrading the server. LTSP crew-- keep up the good work :) Now if I could only get my Gamepad/joystick working on the clients.... -- ***************************************************************** Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone then in bad company. - George Washington, Rules of Civility ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
