Thanks, I have been told about both before. It looks like Sabayon has 
been improved on since I last looked at it. Alas, it looks like it will 
still require a bit more work than it would compared to kiosktool or 
Windows group policies for desktop management. You know...for the type 
of Windows admin out there.

Applying group based policies are described in the link below...but I 
have to find out what is involved in building profiles. At least things 
are moving on the GNOME front. KDE 4.x has a definite lack of interest 
by the KDE developers.
