Zanchey, tpg and myself have been beating the thinterms into submission 
over the last few days. Between us, we've got:

-sound working on debian using pulseaudio, 
-usb memory sticks working on debian,
-Windows remote desktop to maaxen (ctrl-alt-F6, currently limited to wheel 
only, returns to ltsp desktop manager on logout)

Given that we only have 2 terminal licences for maaxen, it may be worth 
getting another 2 (to cover the 3 thinterms plus one other remote user). 
Anyone know where we can easily get a couple?
