Never tried it, but I've messed w/LTSP for years and don't see any reason it won't work. Chris </blockquote><div> Yes. Get XP up, and when LTSP boots, have it run rdesktop -f hostname_of_xp Instead of X. I don't have the exact details where to put it, but it should work. However, having it connect to XP would only work for one host per login (I could be wrong). To do multiple, you will need to set up a terminal server. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
