Not to my knowledge. Run `dpkg -L firefox` and see where the "firefox" package puts its files. All over the file system. I don't think there's any easy way to expose all those directories to the clients, AND to rebuild any icon/menu/whatever caches dynamically, etc etc. Maybe the /usr/local/* dirs can be utilized for this, but I doubt it would be painless. > I also still haven't figured out a good way to install/update programs > that use a GUI installer/update. Especially annoying are Eclipse > plugins If they're per-user plugins, they get installed in /home/username/.something, so you just install them normally from a user account. If they're per-system plugins, and no .deb packages exist for them, just mount --bind whatever dirs you need from the server to your chroot, and run that program while chrooted. You do have X access there, I don't suppose eclipse requires anything more fancy like system dbus to install plugins, does it? For the future, it is planned that LTSP chroots will be bootable read-write from a client or from a virtual machines, so that one can administer the chroot graphically (e.g. with virtualbox). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
