Maybe that you want: http://www.ltsp.org/ [K. Mike Bradley] This would require servers and I want to be able to drop one or more cheap PC's around the networks and run all on the client. Thanks though. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linux

Just my opinion, but the questions you have been asking the last few weeks just scream of a school project. If it is, you would be better off figuring this stuff out yourself. If not, disregard my message. If it weren't that I navigated to your website and found "Would you like Closet Rambo to com
