Hi Sergio,

Thanks for the response.  I am using Ubuntu.  Actually that is my  
goal down the road to set them up with LTSP.  Right now I am just  
trying baby steps.  If I get there shared folders on Linux then I can  
implement LTSP later and give them the option of using their  
workstations the old way or the LTSP way.
