[K12OSN] Thin clients not able to connect to server-

[Dennis Daniels]

What's this about pretty-chooser? Did you configure the XDM?

http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/Technical:XdmChooser

Did you get XDM chooser running? What version of K12LTSP are you running?

I'm very interested in hearing more about how you configured your 
network! We're looking to get an application server running as well but 
NFS and XDM has not been playing nice :/
