Thin clients, part 2

Okay, I've given up on manual updates (downloading .debs, running dpkg or dselect, looking out for dependencies, back to step one, ad nauseam). *sigh!*

That's just too tiresome. I'm gonna ferret out the problem with apt-get not going through the firewall first. Problem is, the net ad (heh, I'm *just* a net janitor) is on a weekend holiday, and he forgot to give me access to the firewall. I think he disabled the LAN port. Yep, he's a BOFH. *evil grin*

Well, then, the thin client installation is temporarily on hold — until Monday, at least — but I'm not losing hope. I've managed to set up remote access for the server, which now sits happily in the cold room, through some convoluted way. I'll try poking around tonight. Not tomorrow: it's a Sunday, full-time QT with the family.

On Monday, I'm sure I'll get it over and done with, what with the docs I've pored through and the friendliness of Ubuntu. Till then...

To be continued...
