..and do not forget that Terminal Server does not have the ability to use what Citrix calls "Pulblished Applications". Published apps are way cool in addition to all the features that were already pointed out be another post. Published Apps, to me, are where it's at. I do not want to load/look at a whole desktop, nor do I want my users to have that either. At my last place I had a Metaframe server that I put in, it was certainly a joy and a life saver. I had my trusty Debian/Apache box running my Intranet and all I did was publish all the App's right on the web page. One-stop shop for everyone. I could be wrong, but I believe LTSP is along the same lines as Terminal Server in that it too does not have any ability to create/utilize "Published Apps". Citrix also has some very fine client software management. just my 2 cents as well v/r -Mike
