see above. There were some conflicts or so - and downloading >1GB of
packages took quite too much time (2.5 hours I'd say). I might get back
to that machine later in order to send you closer details. I must admit
however that the original installation was before Sarge being released.
And it actually used additional sources (for java e.g.).
Today I started wondering if I should replace ALL thin clients
(neighbour room) by full PCs and switch BOTH rooms to lowfat clients +
dual boot. I am a bit uncertain about
- the performance running 2x15 machines from one server
- ongoing usage of Linux if there is most people's home OS available in
both rooms.
