[Ltsp-discuss] LTSP-4 beta 1

2003-08-14 Thread Tom Hoover

I'm in the process of converting the computers on my home network from standalone PCs to LTSP terminals. Previously, I could limit the times that my kids could access email, web and instant messaging thru a combination of firewall rules and the squid proxy (based upon the IP addresses of their co
