Hi all,

we would like to implement something like 'roaming workstations' in
debian-lan.  Can someone give us some hints on how to do that best?
Is there any experience available with roaming workstations, do they
work sucessfully, or are there known problems?

The Information I know about is:

    http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/debian-edu/tasks/roaming-workstation

and perhaps some modifications done by cfengine:

Any help and pointers or comments are appreciated!

Best regards,
