These questions/comments didn't get addressed in the Linux vs. Windows thread, so here goes. Automatic X login: The latest version (2.2.3.1) of GDM will do this. That could be a bit of compiling work if you aren't running Debian Unstable though. I'm pretty sure most versions of KDM can be configured for auto-logon as well. Win2K terminal services: http://www.rdesktop.org And grab the latest patchset from: http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/ The main reason the patches aren't yet in the release version is becaue there is lots of stuff that they break on all platforms, and are pretty much geared to i386 Linux. They work well on i386 Linux, but the developer wants rdesktop to work on all things X and *NIX, and development is slower than users would like. Anyway, if you need windows2000 for an RDP (win2k terminal services) give rdesktop a try. It works very well for my needs. Andrew S.
