First off, is sshd installed and running on the box?
Of course, don't post IP addresses or authentication
info on this mailing list, as its archives are public.

Agreed.

Will Hill has lots of experience with sound card
configuration under Linux.

I'm not familiar with Scribus, but I know how to
install software. What exactly is the problem?

I see from looking at the Scribus website that
software packages are available:
http://www.scribus.org.uk/downloads/1.2/scribus-1.2-0.fdr.1.EL3.i686.rpm,
etc.

IIRC, LTSP is RedHat based, right? So, downloading and
installing the .rpm software package above should
work. There should be a GUI app on the LTSP server for
installing .rpm files, but if not, I can look up how
to do it from the command line. If someone else on
this list has more RedHat experience than me, please
chime in. ;)
