Thank you very much, Anders and Carl, for your replies.

Both answers confirm what I assumed to be the case. It appears that
roaming profiles depend on two condition that must be met:

1. The participating machines must run the same version of the operating
system.

2. The participating machines must have the same software with the same
software version installed; and preferably use the same windows manager.

I am a technical person, not a diplomat, so I wanted to have another
opinion before I say to the users "It can;t be done this way".

Thanks again

Hello Peter,

which applications do they use ?
Is it possible to put all applications on a central server and use
it remotle via X11, VNC or Tarantella ?

Also backup is easier to handle on a central server.

Best regards!
Wigbert

Thanks Wigbert,
That will certainly be an avenue I will explore. I presume the server will be
powerful enough (EMT64) to handle 11 clients. I will definitely have a look
at vnc, because there are still some windows machines around.

Was not this the situation we had about 20 years ago? One big server and many
dumb terminals - all working reliably. I seem to be somehow brainwashed, not
to have thought of this, funny how quickly one forgets solutions that were
working.
