I defiantly have to second that Scott. LTSP 5 in Edgy was a bit on the slower side but the concept was fantastic, in Feisty everything worked perfectly with a more polished look but needed a bit of a speed increase. Now in Gusty, everything mentioned above works beautifully and right out of the box! Encryption can be bypassed and the re-worked LDM give the thin clients excellent performance. I could never achieve 1280x1024 on my thin clients with LTSP4.2 but it's no problem in LTSP5. My flash drive and sound works with no configuration on my part, and everything has a real professional feel to it. Updates for the packages are done using Ubuntu/Debian package management (APT). Also, the package "thin client manager" gives real control to the administrator to send messages, lock out users, close processes, etc. with an easy to use GUI interface, not to mention great documentation from the Edubuntu handbook. I'm really impressed with the progress and especially in such a short amount of time. I commend everyone on their hard work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
