Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is OK posting here, but I'm sure that you'll correct me if I've been imprudent.
I am trying to find a suitable alternative to our crappy, solid-state, thin client boxes (because they are so awfully unreliable & the manufacturer has also gone down the tubes).
We need a fairly painless way, to roll out a fresh install onto some random i386 hardware we have lying around (there's a plentiful supply), for any new users, who require a basic functioning GUI, with access to graphical email client, web browser & 'rdesktop' (for the windows applications, that they are all hooked on).
What I'd love to be able to do, is to create a FreeBSD (it's my favorite) CD, that contains all that I need for these basic systems. Either, set up so that the install is automated, with just the minimal of setup, or so that it's got all the packages that I want & can all be installed straight off the CD (perhaps by choosing the "All Packages" option).
Is what I've described actually possible?
Would anyone be willing or able, to guide me toward a good resource that I can get reading?
It would be very cool, if I could do this for our company. More bums on seats, for FreeBSD :)
I eagerly look forward to any responses, thank you.
Kind Regards,
Chris Phillips
