Yes, just load arch, load whatever lightweight desktop you like. I like both i3 and fluxbox, but prefer fluxbox. A lightdm type DM is fine. With fluxbox, I would just configure the autologin to the windows RDP session via the ~/.fluxbox/startup file. I don't use AD/kerbose, etc.., but I see no reason you couldn't do something similar. As long as you can invoke the RDP session from the command line -- you can put it in a startup file. I've always just used the rdesktop package from the community repository. Always worked fine. FM Good luck on the project and sorry for the confusion. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
