huh, interesting, could you send me some information about how you configured it? How did you get sound working? I'm doing several tests, and so far ubuntu based clients might be the best solution. USB support is vital though, we can live without sound, but not withput USB support. I tried using RHEL 5.3 against LTSP 4.2 clients, but that Gnome version crashed the X server. /daleif > Lars Madsen wrote: >> Hi LTSP users.
