Need to make a Linux based Roaming desktop lab
I must have to able to make a roaming desktop for client. So that users can get their files from any pc.
User only login and they will find their desktop.
I am using Debian 4.0 in my server pc.
I already installed samba successfully and configured. No I need to know how can I connect the client pc which will verify password from the server when they login. {my client pc's are installed kubuntu 8.04}
Then I need to know how can I setup the roaming desktop.

There are lots of howtos and guides for setting this up available on the web.
@irgeek:
The standard way to do this with *nix is to use NFS to export the user's home directory filesystem and mount them remotely on the workstation.
Samba supports this easily. To the OP: there are plenty of examples of this on the Samba site, in the main docs. (Samba by Example, or whatever it's called)
