Ubuntu as an LTSP server.

[Cecil Nutakor [old_thug]]

Am very greatfull for the word of advice you have been giving me since i sent 
my message.

Actually i don't interned to shutdown my mandrake server, instead i am setting 
up LTSP on ubuntu to try my hands on how stable and better it will prove over 
mandrake.

Moreover my main headache is with getting rpm packages with dependances with 
makes my updates and server administration quite difficult. 

Rather i will like to take an advantage of synaptic in Ubuntu to get things 
done faster and more relieble.

keep sending you comments they are really waking me up.

thanks
