Hm no that was not my intention. I'm truly sorry it came off that way.

Yes this is what i was looking at. I also see a general need as stated on this 
list in the past to make this easy to have other server type configs that 
make the install easy. I'm shortly in the next few days going to evaluate 
mandrakes terminal server solution as they have included it in the distro for 
about a year now. After talking to some of the mandrake developers on this I 
see advantages and disadvantages to both ways of doing this. Hm that is 
mandrakes way and the lstp way of doing this.

At any rate it is also some of the extra packages that interests me.

Thank you for your reply and also the good reading material. You info on what 
you had at your school was some of the first stuff I have read. It was very 
well thought out.
