Picking Your Lightweight Linux Desktop (eWeek)
eWeek looks at a
the thin client approach to lightweight Linux desktops. "[L]et's
say you want more control over your desktops. In that case, what you want
is a Linux-based, thin-client approach. If that's you, you can also put
together your own Linux thin-client solution with LTSP (Linux Terminal
Server Project)."

LTSP Posted Jul 17, 2004 0:22 UTC (Sat) by ringerc (guest, #3071) [Link] For users with basic needs, I can't recommend LTSP enough. It's such afuss free, "just works" solution to running thin clients. Now, if only the client applications like OpenOffice and Mozilla had better support for central configuration management such as global defaults and overrides for settings. We do pretty well here with our suite of client software, but some more management features would be incredibly helpful.
Global defaults in Mozilla Posted Jul 19, 2004 9:32 UTC (Mon) by angdraug (subscriber, #7487) [Link] In Debian, Mozilla is perfectly capable in using global defaults from /etc/mozilla/ and /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/, and override those from $HOME/.mozilla/default/*/prefs.js. I assume other distributions build Mozilla this way, too. Isn't that what you want?
