Dang it Bill, you're right again. Silly me forgot that there was another list for this sort of stuff. > On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 09:39:45AM -0800, John McDonnell wrote: >> It needs to be HTML.

I'm thinking the Firefox route is the way I'd like to go - having a full blown desktop environment seems overkill. For now, the client PCs are nice and beefy (which means that I can use the spare cycles for nefarious purposes), but there's talk of a lower specced "thin client" in the future.
