Short answer : LDAP/NIS/NFS Long answer : Your question seems to be "How do I replace NT with Linux", which is an entirely different question than most people seem to be answering (i.e. they're answering "How do I integrate NT and Linux"). You want to look into a standard distribution, for ease of maintenance, home directories on NFS for consolidated backups, NIS/LDAP for centralized user account information, and OpenOffice/Crossover for "productivity" stuff. Use bind for DNS, squid for www proxy/cache, sendmail for MTA, and Evolution for the end user email application (it looks/functions much like Outlook). There are lots of good browsers - I like phoenix. It'll be slightly different, but you should be able to clone the machines, and then roll out a new "template" user account in 5 or 10 minutes, once you figure out what the skeleton should look like. A default RH8 (I have had bad experiences with RH9 and would not reccomend it) installation would suit most desktop users just fine. -justinb -- Justin Banks Constant Data, Inc. http://www.constantdata.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
