Question about local device support

[S. J. van Harmelen]

Thanks very much ones again. I will go on testing a few things on my own
then.

I understand your point of view about the WTS part. And as much as I
would love to give all our customers a nice gnome desktop, unfortunaly
there are still a lot of customers out there that want (or need for some
programs) a Windows desktop.

So it sould be very nice if you can support both, with one and the same
platform (one LTSP client connecting to both Linux and/or Windows
desktops).

But again, I do understand your point of view...
