GNOME has been adding quite a few lock-down features to aid in these types of deployments. I would be very interested in knowing how they work out for you. | | Is anyone interested on that? I have always thought FreeBSD needed for desktop loving. I would be interested in helping with any project that makes FreeBSD more desktop-friendly. | | My TODO List is now by that: | | - Plans for moving/merging X11 config form /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ to | /etc/X11/ | + seems to be most Linux/Unix trends | + easier WS setup. This is a mistake, IMHO. FreeBSD's model is not to put ports configuration files in /etc. In fact, the PAM files in /etc/pam.d now are rumored to me moving out to ${LOCALBASE} and ${X11BASE}. | | - Plans to work and standard FreeBSD way to X11 | + An implementation guide common to x11/gnome/kde (document -> | article | handbook) | + FreeBSD specific support for xinit/xdm config (~/.xinitrc ...) | + rcNG support for x11 | * /etc/rc.d/xdm. operative and valid for gdm/kdm/xdm | * /etc/rc.d/xfs? we need a font server with libXFT trends? | * /etc/rc.d/xserver. Xserver init for XDMCP (XTerminal) | * /etc/rc.d/xinit. Special init via xinit. I have a patch for rcNG support for gdm that will be going in after the freeze. | | - Plans to work on a FreeBSD 'feeling'. Same fonts, ... | + tweaks to apps-defaults, gnome and kde config. | + common process of resources. Xresources , Xmodmap, ... | | - Plans to specific support for NetBooting. NetWS, XTerminals, Kiosk | | - Plans to specific support easy thenmeing 'a la FreeBSD'. This sounds like a good project in and of itself (i.e. FreeBSD Desktop Project). Joe | | Any sugestion on this is welcome. | | -- | josemi | - -- PGP Key : http://www.marcuscom.com/pgp.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBUcK3b2iPiv4Uz4cRArgWAJ4rJYgRbcexKl/gCSbwzHD6SqXDFQCghOFY FYsKpvKeokyODOtJUE9NuWs= =BcG4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----Received on Wed Sep 22 2004 - 16:21:48 UTC
