It is easy to see that LTSP is an elegant solution. And also easy to see that I could not have learned and supported it from far away on Ubuntu. This thing just did not want to show a desktop. I've decided to go with stand-alone 'fat clients' in my sense of the word. I.e. the Slitaz Linux distro. It fits in a thin client flash - about 80 MB footprint or runs off ram. I know it is old school. And there is no user file area. I have to replace a terminal server with a file server and mount stuff. I know that is not elegant. But sitting thousands of miles away from my users, I worry about reliability, support and simplicity, not elegance. I did not try SuSE mainly because I'm not familiar with that distro. Also, I was under the impression that software under Ubuntu is very simple. I'm using it as my file/phone server and application server. I'll have to take a look at SuSE. What do you mean by nicest remote-admin distro?
