I'am very interested to migrade my system (RedHat 7.1,
fully automaticly installed with a kickstart server,
administrate with a commercial tool 'venus' to debian
(which I prefer) togehter with fai.
But the requirements in my Max Planck Institute are
high.
I have a bunch of computers (single pentium, dual pentium,
dual athlon) with 'normal' monitors and LCDs.
Some of them have 3 botton mice, some have a wheel
mouse. Therefor all of them need different settings.
Is it possible to build conf-files on thy fly, depending
on the monitor, the mouse and the graphic adapter?
I also need a powerfull tool to administrate the users,
the nis maps, the computers themself. I need to
call commands on every maschine in addition,
maybe in dependence of classes.

If all of this is possible I will start to test woody
together with fai soon.
Here are 30 high end PCs waiting for fai ;-)

I hope somebody can answer my questions or point
to a manual.

Thanks
