You might want to give Ubuntu a try.
typical linux killjoy - whatever you do theyll say: 'you did *that*???? why not *this*?????????????????
I thought that had something to do with the fact that one needs to have atleast 3 ways of doing anything.
not to steal rony's thunder but i got a KDS laptop running FC3 for my mother-in-law, (yes the real thing not the proverbial one) and it really meets her needs of a)Emailing and Web browsing (ok, so it took a pcmcia card..) b) word 'processing'.
Agreed visiting kids cannot play any games on it and their CDs are rendered useless, but thats a small price to pay.
And yes, I have Sshed into the system. If your customer cannot give u the IP each time he dials in, you can setup a script there which will email u the IP each time he/she connects to the net?
And also, if they are using the mtnl unlimited internet at 700/month, you can setup the script to dial the connection each time machine starts. and if connection breaks, it will redial. I am using that in 3 places. so one does not have to bother about redialing. it just does it for you. especially useful if you are sharing that connection.
Coupled with the above script for emailing you the IPs, you can always have access to your clients systems (ofcourse, if they dont mind i.e.)
