    Pilot Linux Customise

    People,
    I am investigating the possalilty of using Pilot Linux for client PCs on our corporate network. To do this, I would need the following things customised for IT Management to consider it. I have searched for most of these things, but am not a Linux / Knoppix guru, and would appreciate any help. Here we go...

    What would you recommend for minimum hardware spec on the client desktops (processor / memory / video) using Pilot ?

    Has anyone tried Pilot or Knoppix with the Via Eden platform ?

    Could the boot screen image be replaced with (our) corporate logo ?

    Could the distribution be made to NOT eject the CD when reseting ?

    Could the distribution be made to Power Off, rather than reset ?

    Could the distribution be made to not ask for 'enter' to be pressed when booting - just boot, and display the login for the MS Terminal Server ?

    How could the distribution be made to provide a different hostname each time booting to the MS Terminal Server ?

    I have emailed these questions to the link on the website - but haven't received any reply as yet.

    Thanks in advance,
    Onion...
