MandrakeMove is a product that could have a great potential if it could hav= e=20 some features for SOHO. Currently, mobile computing is very appreciated and laptop usage is strong = in=20 SOHO. MandrakeMove could be a solution that could allow employes to have strong= =20 mobilty possibilities. For this MandrakeMove need just some littles things : - 1=B0/ support to transparently crypted the USB key. It this case the usb= =20 stick should be dedicated and format in ext/ext3 and the user should have t= he=20 p=F4ssibility to crypt data thanks to a passphrase. At next boot, when mdk have access to the key, it should detect that the ke= y=20 is encrypted and then ask for the passphrase to decrypt the partition. - 2=B0/ central auth thanks to NIS/SMB/LDAP. Mdk support it in standard=20 distribution. Allowing this in mdkmove will allow customers to be integrate= d=20 in their enterprise network very easily. In this case, TMDNS/Rendez-Vous=20 and/or DHCP givce network parameters whereas NIS/SMB/LDAP give users auth a= nd=20 informations. If NIS is associated with autofs, you could even imagine about automatic=20 configuration for theses kind of partition - 3=B0/ IPSEc VPN suport from client side. Indeed have the ability to conn= ect=20 to your enterprise VPN ( IPSec ) with just a CD, a USB stick and a computer= .=20 You can even use your personal computer for this without the fear to have= =20 some sensitive informations in your computers ( especially if it's running= =20 under Windows ) --=20 Les pommes de terre cuites sont tellement plus faciles a dig=E9rer=20 que les pommes en terre cuite !
