New 24-port 100mb switch is much cheaper than replacing the 22 desktops that could run on such a network ... And I think starting up OpenOffice over NFS would be much more traffic than via X. Surely it can't take too much to change this. The ?dm client configurations just need to be changed to use query, and the server just needs to allow XDMCP requests? Can we have a gui option for this?
