i would strongly recommend using LDM, as it authenticates against the server, uses the user's homedir on the server, and has support for local apps if you install ltspfs into the chroot (see below). with the other display managers, you'll essentially have to manually configure everything. > Local devices does not > work with ldm so kdm is my choise at the moment.

I am sure the > problems I have with gdm and local devices can be solved. if you want local devices, you'll need to install ltspfs in the ltsp-chroot: ltsp-chroot apt-get install ltspfs i recommend using "ltsp-chroot" as it will set some important environment variables, and has options to handle mounting of /proc and /dev/pts for you. live well, vagrant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
