That's not a problem. Install the OS as usual and mount /home over the network. > - $10 question : if 20 users login, will the ethernet > be fast enough to support the load ? That depends on how fast the network is and what the users are doing. A bigger question is what happens if one computer goes down? I suspect your whole LVM could fail. This seem s an unnecessarily complex approach. What's wrong with creating each user's home directory on one computer and exporting it to the others over NFS? If each user has a preferred workstation, this will also reduce network usage. -- Neil Bothwick I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel... but it was just some sod with a torch bringing me more work!
