1.) klik is about a year old & is not new software. 2.) klik was first developed to install applications on in Knoppix (which uses KDE). Since Knoppix is on a read-only medium (CD-Rs) the dependecy on KDE was a real one. 3.) klik on longer depends on KDE. Just RTFA for once please. 4.)

Try DamnSmall for the Lite. Kanotix is rumored to have a DVD soon. You can customize Knoppix to make it as small or as big as you want. Check out the Remastering & Customization forum at Knoppix.net.
Maybe if Herr Knopper won't do it, someone should fork Knoppix and do it for him. Try Kanotix as one of the reasons it was forked from Knoppix was to allow a very easy Debian install.
I noticed at page 116, 6.1 Example client migration:
6.1.2 "Identify important applications and infrastructure integration points"
Since the user role for this workstation is primarily for writing books using Adobe FrameMaker, that most important application and the most important infrastructure components are printing and access to network file shares.
The first thing to note about the Adobe FrameMaker application is that there is no Linux alternative. There is no Linux native version, and moving to another application on Linux is not acceptable from a "business" point of view. In other words, FrameMaker is a unmigratable application that has to be handled like described in 4.7.2, "Terminal Server, Citrix Metaframe, or NoMachine solutions" on page 82.
Printing using the network printers and accessing shares in the NT4 domain means that the methods from 4.2, "Integrating with existing network services" on page 45, have to be followed.
So I jump to 4.7.2 page 82:
4.7.2 "Terminal Server, Citrix Metaframe, or NoMachine solutions"
If the application can run centralized on a server, solutions like Windows Terminal Server, Citrix Metaframe, or NoMachine can be used to access them remotely. Before an application can be moved to a central server some conditions have to be met: - The application has to be able to run on a multi-user environment. A multi-user environment has several consequences: --- Settings are stored in multiple places in the registry and file system. --- More than one user can be running the application simultaneously. - The application license must allow running on a multi-user environment. - Resource needs of the application have to fit with more than one instance of the application running or with multiple applications running on the server.
Client applications are available for Linux for Terminal Server, Citrix Metaframe, and NoMachine. The client for Terminal Server is OSS. The Citrix client is available when you purchase Metaframe solutions. NoMachine has the NX client available for download.
Section 4.7 titled "Un-migrateable applications" is about five pages. Are there nother red books, white papers, or HOWTOs that would fill this gap? I nominate section 4.7 to be improved.
You can also find more info from from a paper published for the SIGUCCS of the ACM titled: Easy access to remote graphical UNIX applications for windows users Listed below is the publicly available abstract: ABSTRACT A barrier deters Windows users from evaluating graphical scientific software that runs only on remote UNIX systems. Graphical UNIX applications are based on X Windows. To make use of X applications, Windows users must install an X server, install communications software for connecting to remote UNIX systems, and configure their systems to display graphics from remote systems. This barrier can be removed by making use of an X server and communications software that run live from CD-ROM. This poster presents such a CD-ROM known as XLiveCD.
XLiveCD appears to users as an application that provides a command-prompt that allows them to log in to remote computers. Windows XP/NT/ 2000 users insert the CD into a drive and click twice in response to a wizard. A terminal window appears on the screen and provides a command prompt. From the command prompt users run the secure shell (ssh) to connect to a remote computer and launch applications. X graphics windows are forwarded automatically.
XLiveCD is based entirely on open source software and is available free for download. It is a Cygwin environment (from Red Hat, Inc.), including the X.org X server and openssh installed and modified to be run from CD-ROM. The home page is http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/.
Perhaps you meant Fifth Gear? The Nov 1 2004 episode of Fifth Gear is the episode that involves a SMART car crashed into a concrete road barrier at 70MPH. The video that pyat posted is also shown in that episode.
You are correct in that Shuttle XPCs do use ICE. See silentpcreview.com's review of the Shuttle Zen XPC ST62K for pictures of the ICE. However as seen in the picture, ICE is a all contained liquid heat-pipe & not the traditional liquid cooling kit with pump that the GP thought it was.
You are not correct in that they are quiet. It was only within the last year that Shuttle made some design changes to make them quiet. I have a 2 year old XPC that is not quiet & it was made before they switched to a different powersupply manufacturer. My PS has a 40mm fan that buzzes & the 80mm main fan even with variable speed temp control is simply too loud. If you are interested in the small form factor XPC line, then get a new one like the one in the review & not an older one which you might get dirt cheap.

Saskia Sassen, professor of Sociology & author of "The Global City" is used as an authority in TFA. This post is not a slam but more of a critique of her as a lecturer. As a graduate of RIT, it was mandatory to take Senior Seminar which is RIT's attempt to enrich the student with timely lectures from authorities in a field. The topic of Senior Seminar is on globalization, human rights, and citizenship.
The class, including the professor, agreeded that she is too far out into the fringes of her studies of sociology and thus is unable to effectivly communicate her thoughts to those in attendance. Our professor, he too a professor in the field of sociology, was both disgusted and outraged in regards to her lecture. Disgusted that she can not reach students and perhaps make them question why & how globalization changes our lives. Outraged that we had to listen to over an hour of uninterpretable socio-politic-economic mishmash of ideas. I came away from that lecture with nothing. I will wholly admit that I am not a peer of hers nor am I well versed in any social science. Perhaps I am way out of my element and all of us students in attendance are not the pinnacle of sociology & research like she is, but I was dumbfounded that I could walk away from a lecture and gain nothing.
Maybe she is a great authority on the topic of globalization, but her delivery on that topic left us feeling ill. Since we suffered through her lecture, I wonder if she really is an authority on globalization since many educated students and some of her peers were unable to discover it for themselves. If Sassen's lecture is measured against Marshall McLuhan's quote "The Medium is the Message", then Sassen's message becomes bunk.
What's wrong with me digging that old celeron-400 out of the corner, installing smoothwall on it, and shoving it away in the cupboard to serve out it's days?
I agree with this as I have a celeron doing the very same thing. However I can see the point of having a specialized box as a router in regards to power usage which affects heat output and also the size. My celeron is not that hot and I might be able to underclock and undervolt it to a lower speed. Unless I add airflow to my clost, putting the whole thing in a closet is a no go. The heat would probably kill the power supply since heat and power supply effiency can vicously cycle out of control. My system is a all steel case circa 1998 and I can not justify spending aprox $50 for a smaller easier to keep cool case. If I am gonna spend the $50, I might as well buy up and get something smaller & newer.
I also see the possible need for a low cost computing appliance. Yes a linux appliance. Check out the first link to Buffalo Technology's Kuro Box. It as room for a hard drive and you can turn it into a NAS box or in my case I was thinking for making a application server with LAMP and doing a couple surveys & demos to see if the local businesses might be interested.

Nope, no troll. Icecream is created by SUSE and is based on ideas and code by distcc. Like distcc it takes compile jobs from your (KDE) build and distributes it to remote machines allowing a parallel build on several machines you've got. But unlike distcc Icecream uses a central server that schedules the compile jobs to the fastest free server and is as this dynamic. This advantage pays off mostly for shared computers, if you're the only user on x machines, you have full control over them anyway.

Two Years Before the Prompt: A Linux Odyssey Derek Croxton, 09 September 2004
Two Years Before the Prompt: A Linux OdysseyTwo Years Before the Prompt: A Linux Odyssey
A novice's greatest fear is sitting in front of a motionless command prompt with no idea what to type; or, as so frequently happens, knowing a command that he copied verbatim from a document discovered on the internet somewhere, but with no idea of what it means or how to alter it if it doesn't behave exactly as advertised. Linux has never quite escaped its reputation as an OS for geeks who like those command prompts. I made the plunge into Linux at the start of 1993 under the assumption that things had improved enough that I could get around Linux without the command prompt at all, or at least with minimal exposure to it.
What I want to report on here is some of the "gotchas" of being a new Linux user. I've tried at least half a dozen different distributions, and along the way I've been hit with just about every problem an inexperienced user could face. Partly this is because I push Linux to do so many things for me - web server, video player, email server, database backend, programming environment - including many that I had not previously tried on Windows. In spite of my title, however, I'm not going to try to make this article into a ripping yarn along the lines of Richard Henry Dana's book Two Years Before the Mast. I'm also not writing a critique of Linux distributions, although I hope some developers out there might read this and get some ideas. My main purpose is to prepare new users for likely sticking points, as well as to reassure them about things that will not be as hard as they had feared. I went into my Linux experience with very little idea of what I was getting into; that makes it an adventure, but it's probably not the best way to go about things. Sometimes it helps to read that such-and-such a process is difficult. At least then you can work your way through it slowly, without the persistent fear that there is some easy, one-command feature that you could be using if only you knew what it was.
All of the distributions I have used are of the more user-friendly type. The reason I have gone through so many is that I keep discovering different things in them. What works on one might not work on another, but hopefully I can learn enough from one distribution that I can tweak another to my satisfaction. It is, in fact, the very diversity of various distributions that makes using Linux such a challenge. Ask a friend and he may suggest a solution to your problem that doesn't exist on your distribution. Naturally, anything can be configured, but it may be more trouble to get it to that point than to find a different solution. Therefore, I will not go into the details of each distribution, but rather give my overall experience, highlighting where distributions differ.
Linux distributions have put a lot of effort into making the install process as easy as possible, and this is definitely a good thing - if you can't get it installed, you aren't going to use it. I distinctly recall installing a version of Linux 6 years ago and trying to get XWindows (X11R6, for purists) running so I could escape the command line. I went through a lengthy setup process, but when it started asking questions like the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of my monitor, I knew I was in trouble. Nowadays, installation is often as simple as you make it: if you accept all the defaults, your only decision will be a password for the root user. I have had very little difficulty with any of my installs: keyboard, monitor, mouse, sound card, network card, and other essentials are usually automatically detected and configured without my having to do a thing. I did have one case of a disappearing monitor display and one of a non-functioning keyboard, and it
