I was looking at the package framework page on the Wiki and under core 
components saw support for Windows Client with tsclient? under Server 
and black backgrounds under Enterprise Desktop and SOHO Desktop and I 
was a bit confused. By Support for Windows client do you mean support  
for Windows clients connecting to the UserLinux server or for the 
UserLinux server to act like a windows client?

If it's the first I don't see much point in installing tsclient on the 
server as it's a wrapper around rdesktop which allows linux clients to 
connect to Windows Terminal Servers and Windows XP Desktops (with Remote 
Desktop Connection), so it won't help windows clients connecting to the 
server.

If it's the second case, than I'm not sure tsclient still has much of a 
place on a server (especially one with out a GUI).

In either case, I think there's a good reason to include tsclient on 
Enterprise Desktops - in a mixed Windows/Linux environment it could be 
useful, especially as it's a feature that's built into XP.
