Heres the issue : I have a large # of remote users with DSL, all with varying random home pcs. They all want corporate remote access but I dont trust their pcs even if i gave them a vpn client, firewall and antivirus software.
Heres the idea: These users only need IE6 (some of our web apps require IE) , lotus notes, and a lotus notes instant messenger (sametime). The three aforementioend apps all work under wine and I have a vpn client for linux that works w/ our fw so....
If I booted knoppix from cd, performed a remaster by following
http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixRemasteringHowto
and the only changes I made were add my vpn client, install IE6, Lotus Notes, and sametime in wine and copied $HOME/.wine to /etc/skel would I be good to go?
Or am I missing something? the concept seems too simple and ive not seen any other remasters along these lines so Im assuming Im missing something huge.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated before I blow a week of my life trying to figure this out and learning that its pointless...
Many thanks in advance.
