Hi. FIRST: I am new to the list and perhaps some local settings are wrong (although I don't think so) - but - can someone please tell me why - whenever I press r (for reply in kmail) I would reply directly to the recipient instead to the mailinglists?

We didn't have any time to check out if they work fine (download the rpms, install them, find out dependencies, download more packages, etc). Second are very limited in hdd-space (2.5gb - and this should include the installation of open-office) and were under huge time-pressure (we had to distribute the systems fast - the customs were bugging. I personally wanted to put ICE - someone told me that you could crash ICE like anything if you play around with the themes. Third, thus open-office wasn't released yet (the final) and the future of staroffice unknown we had to put some small apps for wordprocessing and spreadsheets for the time beeing. Gnumeric was our only way (I was told) so we had to install gnome for that either ways. As far as I know there won't be much difference between the speed of gnumeric on ICE compared with gnumeric on gnome (as the gnome libraries all get fired up - please correct me if I'm wrong). > > > people mess up the settings (panel mostly) - need some recovering scripts > > for the teachers to refresh some configs or create user-accounts new. > > *** All administration of our LTSP servers is done with WebMin > (www.webmin.com).

But doesn't that mean that you definitely give them a root account and all kinds of misconfiguring options? Is there a workaround for that (e.g. limit the options)? Is webmin resource hungry? Don't wanna start a flame ware - but some pros and cons regarding ICE compared with XFCE (I don't really know XFCE). thanks for feedback and ideas!
