Dear Steve, Another way to get your users get used to linux is to try using wine. (Plz not this one for drinking!!) Wine pakages makes it possible to run Windows programs alongside any Unix-like operating system,particularly Linux. At its heart, Wine is an implementation of the Windows Application Programing Interface (API) library, acting as a bridge between the Windows program and Linux. try this link http://www.winehq.org/. rgds

Hi all, thank you for the infor. Am not planning to remove linux from the thin clients bacause that would mean i change the firmware but i have naive users who cannot navigate linux. All i want is to find a way of leting these users use windows on the same linux embedded thin clients. i have VMware vSphere and i was thinking of virtualizing one of my servers and install Debian to boot the thin clients and windows XP so that one when the workstation boots up, there is a way of moving to windows for those people who are naive. Is there a way or a script to do it? -- Stephen Kabali Makerere University Computer Science +256 782-706582 _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
