*** That's because in run-level 3 you don't have a display manager running (xdm/kdm/gdm). You need one of these running. That's what gives you the login option to your clients. You can configure xdm/gdm/kdm *not* to display the login screen on the server but only to the clients. In this mode it runs as a daemon service without X. > component running on the server, no? > > Thanks for the tips! > > > On Sun, 18 Aug 2002, Lee Hughes wrote: > > > >> I've got my thin clients set up running KDE off the server -- is there > >> any performance/resource advantage of *not* running KDE in the server > >> login itself? > > > > *** Plenty...KDE is beautiful (version 3) but resource heavy (150-300MB > > per client).
