Thanks Martin, I did read this hd install option, and I would have
tried it too. Then I read this :

"Be aware that DSL is a work-in-progress and that there are currently
no plans to have updates to be applied to hard drive-installed systems.
Each new version would require reinstallation."

And I got some really useful package info from dsl, some tight little
apps they have listed there.

I'd really like something I can upgrade.

I would be a really nice idea to post a how-to for a really thin
ubuntu/debian desktop environment.


I'm also interested in Skolelinux as well, it offers a thin client
install option.
"Skolelinux comes with an out-of-the-box thin client solution based on
LTSP. This makes it possible to use old computers as thin clients in a
Skolelinux network."
