I am in need of something to help me centralize some of my admin tasks and I love the \
Xwindows  concept!  I dislike  Windoze and I can not offer much security to Windoze \
users localy, but I can restrict  access to a Xwindows session;) and info kept on the \
FreeBSD box.

Thanks for the input!!  And yes I would be interested in any info you can offer:)
