Well, I'm feeling kinda dumb.
Just got the hardware pack for a multiple machine upgrade, it's going to eliminate one server and one workstation, combine their duties and deploy them in the garage (where we need the heat, all things considered). The problem with this is, now I have a server machine that I'm going to be playing mp3s, surfing, and viewing youtubes off of... that other people are going to need to log into, preferably with GUI support, to move files and make changes (media streaming from the machine is easy-peasy). In an all-windows network, I'd use Remote Desktop Connection to get the functionality I want, but this machine is planned as Ubuntu/64 bit.
So far I've looked at X over TCP, which should be a viable solution. I am, however, very interested in other suggestions.
-No view or change access to user logged in at local console
-Multi-user support, seperate logins
-runs on 100m/full duplex ethernet
-clients for Ubuntu, Win 7, Winxp, Mac OS.
Please advise.
