Hi again,
Just a quick note to thank you for your pointer.
I have just installed PC-BSD onto an old box that was lying around the office. It was a good experience, thanks :)
With just a few very small tweaks, I now have a PC-BSD device, integrated into our corporate LAN (via NIS), users home folders mapped over (via NFS) & we finally have a mature & capable alternative, to the flaky & over-priced, hardware thin-clients, currently in use.
Rock On!

We need a fairly painless way, to roll out a fresh install onto some random i386 hardware we have lying around (there's a plentiful supply), for any new users, who require a basic functioning GUI, with access to graphical email client, web browser & 'rdesktop' (for the windows applications, that they are all hooked on).
Look at

also. I did just for fun the installation of
http://ftp.plusline.de/pcbsd/PCBSD-0.6-x86.iso
and I'm very impressed.
A small, but working KDE Desktop "out of the box" (FreeBSD 5.3, KDE 3.4) without any huzzle. Start the (graphical!!) installer and get yourself a mug of coffee (or what else you prefere).
Liebe Grüße, Nora.
