I guess what I'm really advocating isn't this particular solution, but some *simple* solution that an enthusiast needn't be an expert to implement, a solution that allows for the simple set up of a thin client server with local-apps. I've got to say that you developers are doing a great job, Jaunty is a big step up from Hardy from my nubie-perspective. Also true is that I easily spent 80-100 hours this summer, along with another 30+ hours of other, knowledgeable Linux (though not to LTSP) users locally to get the server working like I need it to work. Add to this the various people who have helped give solve/add depth of understanding through this list server and through the wiki. AND, especially alkisg who spent hours on #edubuntu as well helping me solve problems I encountered/created in the setup process and sbalneav who got Sabayon working. So, a semi-simple solution (from a novices point of course) of setting up a robust server would be a great goal.<br>

</div>/etc/network/interfaces is certainly the file you should be modifying to<br>
change a static IP address. If that's really the only change I'm not sure<br>
what other file you should need to alter. You would need to then restart<br>
the networking service (sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart) to actually<br>
apply that change.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>It took the network person a bit to even get the restarting to work, but it finally does. <br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
