thanks for the reply, I have mythtv installed, after upgrading to hardy and option became avaiable in the mythtv control center, where you can have the master backend run as a diskless server, I enabled that and built an image (not knowing what the techonlogy behing it is :). The package ltsp-server is installed, if i try to remove it, it tries to remove the packages mythbuntu-diskless-server, so it is mythbuntu running that service on port 2000 as for why the /opt, well ltsp is not installed there, it just stores the images in /opt/. but that still doesn't explain why going to the hostname:2000 in firefox or epiphany from an ubuntu machine gives me that exe file. I guess i need a good understanding of how ltsp works and why it would return such a file, or is it a gecko thing maybe? the diskless-server didnt work anyways! :S so i will remove the service for now and try setting it up later! that was scary, but i discovered new things which i like, iftop, ntop, snort, ltsp ;) thanks again Seif A. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
