[Thinstation-developer] My Compliments on 2.2rc4

[Adrien G. <gu...@da...>]

   Hey Everybody,

   I have been very very busy the past couple months, and have monitored the 
list in the mean time here and there.  I have been upgrading from 2.2beta4 to 
2.2rc4 over the past couple of days, and I must admit I am very impressed 
with the progress made by the Thinstation project.

   I prefer icewm to blackbox, since our users will sometimes hit the NX magic 
pixel and minimize their session.

   Overall I am quite impressed with the abilities of Thinstation.  A couple 
of suggestions, of things I had in my version of beta4 that I will be 
migrating:

*   A configuration entry to put drives to sleep, for example 
SLEEP_DRIVE_HDA=TRUE.  This makes the office nice and quiet, and conserves 
hydro.

*  An inventory script which will automatically take inventory of the 
components in the Thinstation (like PCI information, what drives are 
connected, etc), and upload via tftp.  Although now scp is likely a better 
option.

   Excellent progress on the project, and now that I am on the same revision 
as everybody else I will post patches I make here.
