[K12OSN] K12LTSP - How easy was that!

[Dave Hopkins]

Odd question, but could pgina (http://www.pgina.org/) be installed on 
the WinXP Pro system in addition to the xpunlimited software and thus 
allow validation of users against a Linux/Samba/LDAP/PDC, in essence 
achieving the effect of a Windows TS in the domain?  I don't have the 
hardware 'laying around' to test this as it currently stands.

Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
