  1. Very Simple Solution on Handling User Grown Machines on a Large Network? · · Score: 1

    They do this at my University and it's a very good system. On the first day of school you plug in your computer to the network. DHCP gives you an internal ip address, and all your http requests go strait to a registration web server, you cannot get off your immediate network segment without registering. The registration processs ties your student ID to your mac address and also runs microsoft's own tool Hfnetchk.exe agaisnt your pc. If your missing hotfixes (aka notfixes) you cant register. I'm not sure how (go linux), but im guessing they provide you with the hotfixes since you cant leave the network. This should help alot in the first weeks mad rush for computer access.

  3. metacity? on Sun Drops Sawfish for Metacity · · Score: 1

    I have used sawfish for a good year now and i can't really complain about anything. Stable and it gets the job done. It's fairly customizable also. So my question is, why metacity? (i have read very little about metacity, so perhaps some links would be nice also. )
