I've just about got the "test boxes" ready for an install of NIS setup. 
It's a new install of Fedora Core 4 on all clients, undecided whether to 
settle on another FC4 (to keep them the same) or as suggested Clark 
Connect (but a school setup surely can't use the "home" edition?).

...Have printed out a couple of versions of the NIS - LDP "howto". 
Unsuire of all the ins and outs at this stage and may want help on how I 
go abnout making the /home dirs reallocated, and also on setting up a 
couple of common shared directories for all users as well.

Anyone think they would be able to help out if / where I get stuck?

Oh well - here goes... about to run lastminute /yum/up2date/synaptic etc 
and then get to base system cloning. Hope it works...

Lance.
