Hi guys!
I want to set up a server so I'm able to administrate users,computers
and shares easily.
I post this to get some information about the beginning of my project.
So, the user administration I can handle with a PDC, I think. Thats not
a big issue but the rest is difficult.
I want to install the programs, which every client machine is able to
run, only on the server. Short: I want to make an application explorer
(or something like that). Do I need a 1Gbit/s LAN or could I use my 100
Mbit/s LAN? (There are 6 Computers in my network)
The client machines should have a very clean GUI; there should be only
some icons (or this App Explorer) and thats it. The Configs and so on I
want to make with the server. Is there a linux which is made like my
ideas or similar like them?
OK I think thats it
thx in advance

Try Debian Live project and, or Knoppix's terminal-server, I
successfully am using the later one for 20 node cyber-cafe. I
re-mastered the Knoppix Live-CD, just to remove some unwanted stuff and
upgrade rest of the packages, put a copy on it on hard disk for sharing
or exporting the same via NFS, tweaked the initrd image a bit (you may
pick one created by knoppix-terminal-server, configured the DHCP and
TFTP daemons for remote booting nodes/clients via PXE or Etherboot.
I also run a Bind as a caching name server and a caching web/ftp proxy
Squid for speeding up the Internet access.
I think, a 1Gbit LAN setup if possible is better, but mine is a 100Mbit
only as yet.
