I would suggest fluxbox. (but that's just because it's what I use...) Flux has two menu files to read from. Either ~/.fluxbox/menu or /usr/share/commonbox/menu. (I think) It's a very simple, look-at-it-and-you-get-it, kind of format. You can also make ~/.fluxbox/menu just link to the /usr/share... file, so you have only one file to edit. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if IceWM had a similar setup. The tougher question, I think, is what to do if students are familiar with Linux and can figure out how to get a shell open or something. Even in this case, it would be a minority, and I think I would trust Linux permissions to protect the system from a user-level account. I wish you luck in doing this! Also, Xandros (commercial) or Lindows might be worth looking at, if they want more than web/word processing. > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Post > Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 12:09 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: [TCLUG] kind of a different question > > > I am trying to push a high school to use linux by installing > a k12ltsp.org (ltsp on Redhat 8) server and a few thin > clients.
