Krishna and All, Below is the URL to the ltspguide.pdf tutorial I wrote. The tutorial primarily focuses on installing LTSP onto Ubuntu. On that same page you will see another tutorial I wrote on getting K12LTSP to authenticate against Windows ADS via Winbind for single sign on abilities (If you or anyone else is interested). I am currently in the process of writing another tutorial on how to easily get Ubuntu to authenticate against a Windows ADS via Winbind.
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Documentation The reason why I focus heavily on integration Windows based infrastructures (primarily Active Directory) is because...well let's face it, the majority of corporations and organizations utilize Windows server operating systems to run their network. In general, if you want to get these corporations and organizations interested in and utilizing Linux you must show them how they can incorporate it into their current setup. Generally speaking, running in and asking them to change from Windows to Linux won't get you anywhere. It must be subtle and slow. Anywho, enough rambling *gets off of soap box* :). Let me know if you need anything else! -Paul On Fri, 2006-06-02 at 18:42 -0400, Krishna Murphy wrote: > Paul- > > I think that's really cool!
